On behalf of the Board of Directors of the National Crystallography Association, we invite you to attend the 6th National Crystallography Meeting, which will be held face-to-face and hosted by Giresun University.
It would be our pleasure to have you join us for this special event.
The National Crystallography Meeting is organized by the National Crystallography Society. The National Crystallography Association was founded in Ankara in 2001 at Hacettepe University. The association’s objectives are to organize the professional, cultural, and social activities of its members, to support education in the field of crystallography, to contribute to the understanding, development, and dissemination of crystallography in Turkey, and to engage in scientific activities and publications in this field. Our association is a member of the European Crystallographic Association (ECA) and International Union of Crystallography (IUCr).
During the meeting, both oral and poster presentations from participants will be included, as well as presentations by internationally recognized invited speakers.
We look forward to your participation in the 6th National Crystallography Meeting, which will be held face-to-face from May 17-19, 2026. We look forward to having you at our event.
