25th General Assembly and Congress of the International Union of Crystallography - Call for Abstracts

Organisers of 25th IUCr Congress invite all the interested authors to submit their abstracts for the congress which will be held 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 and the rest of participants present remotely online. In case this will not be possible, the congress will be purely virtual with the online presentations as a sole option.
