CALL for ABSTRACTS
The International Programme Committee welcomes the submission of abstracts for presentation at the
34th Meeting of the European Crystallographic Association
IMPORTANT DEADLINES
JANUARY 30, 2024
Opening of abstracts submission.
Each registered participant can be the presenting author of only one submitted abstract for the scientific programme (PL, KN, MS), but submit a second abstract to sessions M37, MS38, MS39, MS41, MS42 and MS43. However, every participant can be a non-presenting co-author on an unlimited number of abstracts.
