This discussion will bring together crystallographers and spectroscopists from chemistry, physics and biology to promote new interdisciplinary research and to benefit from complementary approaches and techniques in the rapidly emerging areas of ‘time resolved studies’, leading to a greater overall understanding of structural dynamics. Discussion themes include:

• Dynamics of the Chemical Bond
• Time and Space Resolved Methods
• Local and Global Dynamics
• Future Challenges and Emerging Techniques

Submit your abstract today via our submission system.

The deadline for oral abstracts is 21st April 2014
