Meetings/Winter2012
PCG-SCMP Winter Meeting "The Crystallography of Functional Materials"
Our 2012 Winter Meeting at Cosener’s House will be held in Abingdon on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th November. The meeting will again be held jointly with the ISIS Crystallography User Group meeting and follow the popular format of previous years (see for example Winter 2011). There will be a poster session and the opportunity for a small number of junior researchers to give short oral presentations.

ISIS will cover the travel and accommodation costs of UK academic attendees to the User Meeting – if you have an specific travel requirements, please email isisuo@stfc.ac.uk
The closing date for registration is 29th October 2012.
