British Crystallographic Association
UK association for crystallographic science, bringing together research in biology, chemistry, physics and industry. See also: @escg-bca.bsky.social for our early stage group.
- Pre-registration is open for the 11th European Crystallography School (28th June-4th July) until February 28th. A fantastic opportunity for international students and scientists keen to learn more about crystallography. For more information, follow the link! www.ecs11.org
- If you haven't yet submitted an abstract to the BCA Spring Meeting (Leeds, 30th March - 1st April), don't worry - the deadline has just been extended until the 28th January! tinyurl.com/BCASpring2026
- The deadline is approaching for abstract submission to the BCA 2026 Spring Meeting in Leeds, 30th March-1st April! Get your abstract in before 9am on Monday 19th January, we can't wait to hear about your science 🔬 tinyurl.com/BCASpring2026
- Happy New Year! For those hoping to join us for the BCA Spring Meeting (30th March-1st April), don't forget to submit an abstract before 09.00 on Monday 19th January. (tinyurl.com/BCASpring2026).
