The congress principal topics are Biological and macromolecular crystallography; Physics and fundamental crystallography; Materials and minerals; Chemical crystallography, crystal structures; Methods and instruments; Theory, computation, modelling, data, standards. All the abstracts from these topics as well as their combination and overlapping topics are warmly welcome .
The congress was postponed from 2020 and it will be held this year, 14-22 August. If the circumstances allow, the event will take place in a hybrid form with a part of the participants present onsite in Prague, Czech Republic and the rest of participants present remotely online.

The programme shall be kept the same in either form of the congress, hybrid and virtual. The online from will allow discussions on sessions and lectures before, during and after the congress. Everything should be available online for all for registered participants up to two months after the congress. The programme consists of a few plenary lectures, 35 keynote lectures, over 100 sessions, poster sessions and exhibition.
We invite all the interested authors to submit their abstracts via the registration system. The deadline for abstracts for oral presentations is April 30, 2021, abstracts for posters can be sent till June.
