2014, International Year of Crystallography

30-01-2014

2014 has been proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly as the International Year of Crystallography (IYCr2014). 
Worldwide celebrations of Crystallography are already taking place and in order to promote a better understanding of its role in our lives and our future, a series of Conferences will be taking place at our Campus, from April to December 2014 (http://xtal.dq.fct.unl.pt/iycr2014). Colleagues from around the world are being invited to give lectures, to visit and interact with our staff and students. We planned it as a highly interdisciplinary initiative that involves researchers from the fields of biochemistry, material sciences and mathematics.
