Zürich School of Crystallography 2026
The Zurich School of Crystallography (ZSC) will take place June 29-July 11 2026 at the University of Zürich, Switzerland. This intensive program focuses on training young researchers from around the world in single-crystal X-ray crystallography, with emphasis on applications in the chemical, molecular, and solid-state sciences. Participants will gain a strong theoretical foundation and extensive hands-on experience in crystallographic methods, including data collection, structure determination, and interpretation of small-molecule crystal structures. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own crystals for analysis using advanced diffractometers at UZH and ETH Zürich. Applications are now open. Deadline: January 15, 2026."
