AUGUST 23 - 27 2022

VERSAILLES, FRANCE

EDITO MARCH 2022
On behalf of the European Crystallographic Association (ECA) and of the French Association of Crystallography (AFC), we would like to bring you up to date with the organization of the 33rd European Crystallographic Meeting. The meeting will be held at the recently refurbished Music Conservatory and Congress Centre in Versailles, close to Paris, between 23rd and 27th of August 2022. Both venues overlook the famous Versailles Chateau.
We have, with the help of the ECM Program Committee and our Local Organizing Committee, prepared an exciting scientific program, with high level Plenary and Keynote Speakers. The program is now available online. Two topical public lectures have been prepared, covering the restoration of Notre Dame Cathedral and the celebration of the bicentenary of the death of Abbé Haüy.
The improved pandemic situation has allowed us to prepare a face-to-face meeting, and we would like to take the opportunity already to thank commercial and academic sponsors of the meeting for their support and encouragement which have assisted this process. We would like to encourage young scientists to consult our webpage for information on bursary applications.
Co-Organisers
The weather in the Paris region is usually very nice at this time of year.
The Gala dinner will be held during a river boat trip on the Seine in Paris, with coach transfer from the Palais de Congres de Versailles.
Versailles offers numerous opportunities for extra curricular visits, and we are currently preparing an attractive social program.
We are sure that ECM33, in Versailles, will be a fruitful meeting set in historical surroundings, and we are looking forward to seeing you there.
