Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
The 2020 IUCr Congress in Praha (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.iucr25.org">www.iucr25.org</a>) will be must-attend
meeting for researchers involved in the determination and
application of high-quality magnetic-structures. We’ll have broad
representation from research groups around the world doing
high-impact science. Abstracts are due by 31 Mar 2020. We
encourage you make this meeting a priority! <br>
<br>
A sampling of the microsymposia and keynote lectures relevant to
magnetic structures are listed below. The program, which includes
over 100 half-day microsymposia and 36 keynote lectures, will also
offer extensive coverage of related topics such as total scattering,
frustration and disorder, modulated structures, quasicrystals,
mineral structures, theoretical crystallography, quantum
crystallography, topological materials, electronic and quantum
materials, functional materials, energy materials, high-pressure
crystallography, powder diffraction, x-ray and neutron diffraction,
electron diffraction, 3D/4D electron crystallography, cryo-EM, XFEL
sources, and many others. See the full program for details.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
