Welcome note by the organisation committee
Dear colleagues,
It is our immense pleasure to welcome you to the 33rd Annual Meeting of the German Society
for Crystallography (DGK) at the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University Hannover (LUH).
The conference will be held at the centrally located Welfenschloss, the main building of our
university.
We would like to thank the board of the DGK for trusting us to host this conference, to our
office and its staff, as well as to the Conventus team, who supported us in preparing the conference.
We are especially grateful to the industrial exhibitors, whose support is essential for
this conference.
We would of course also like to express our sincere thanks to all of you, the participants coming
from far and wide, as well as our close neighbourhood. We are excited to learn more about
the excellent science we have had the pleasure to peruse in your abstracts. The stimulating
and interesting ideas from and to all fields of crystallography will provide a great basis for
interactions between chemists, physicist, biologists, earth scientists and all material sciences.
As a result, and perhaps most importantly, this conference will provide a wonderful opportunity
for knowledge transfer between these fields and stimulate new research directions. This
breadth of expertise is reflected by our six plenary speakers, who will highlight exhilarating
aspects of crystallography.
Topics will be presented in 23 Microsymposia and two poster sessions, including one for
young scientists in the form of lightning talks.
So once again, a warm welcome. We are looking forward to your contributions and to an exciting
and inspiring conference here at LUH. Thank you for coming to attend and celebrate the
33rd crystallographic conference with us.
