Scientific Program

The Conference Lecture will be presented by the 1987 Fellow, Professor Douglas L. Dorset, Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute, Buffalo. (Electron Microscopy, Diffaction and Crystallography).

In addition the following invited speakers will give Keynote Lectures in different areas of crystallography and these will form the focus for the different scientific sessions that are planned. The majority of talks in each session will be drawn from submitted abstracts and we encourage, though not exclusively, contributions in these and related areas of crystallography. In addition it is planned to have a session devoted to Instrumental Developments.

We particularly welcome both oral and poster presentations from students.
