Conference Description
The Crystal Engineering GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
In this meeting, we will showcase the significant progress that has been made toward defining, designing and developing molecular crystals for a range of applications, and as is tradition, talks will focus on current and unpublished work. The scientific program that is being assembled will feature sessions on Crystal Engineering - Today and Tomorrow, Nucleating and Growing Crystals, Polymorph Discovery – What’s in my sample?, Structure/Stability Prediction, Engineering Molecular Mobility, Designing Pharmaceutical Crystals, Bio-inspired Crystals, Structure Meets Function, and Crystals under Duress. Invited speakers will cover a range of computational and experimental approaches to crystal engineering, bringing diverse perspectives from both academia and industry that not only challenge the status quo, but also provide inspiration for crystal engineers to deliver high-performance materials in ever more efficient and green ways.
The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by September 24, 2025. Please check back for updates.
