ECA SIG-13 - A Special Interest Group of the European Crystallographic Association

SIG-13 remit

Established in 2003, the founding statement of ECA SIG-13 reflects its remit of representing the broad range of applications of Crystallographic methods in the areas of Chemical Structure and Molecular Properties.

The main focus of the ECA SIG-13 is to represent the very broad community in its area of remit in ensuring a good representation of appropriate sessions at European Crystallographic Meetings (held annually, except in the years of the triennial IUCr Congresses).

In the years since its inauguration, SIG-13 has had significant input into the scientific programme of the ECM meetings in Durban (ECM-21; 2003) and Budapest (ECM-22; 2004); the views of the SIG were also represented at the IUCr meeting in Florence (IUCrXX; 2005), where we also co-organised a Workshop on Small Molecule Crystallisation (with ECA SIG-7). SIG-13 has been represented on these committees by its organisers and co-chairs Prof Fernando Lahoz (Zaragoza), Prof Carlo Mealli (Florence) and Prof Chick Wilson (Glasgow). There is also a significant degree of input from SIG-13 at the forthcoming ECM-23 meeting in Leuven, Belgium.

SIG-13 reports on its activities annually to the Council of the European Crystallographic Association' these reports can be accessed through the links on the right of this page.

SIG-13 Membership

SIG-13 membership is informal and fluid; we hope that interested members of the community appreciate th efforts we make in ensuring their reserach areas are represneted withinn European crystallography.
