Over the course of the year, hundreds of activities, initiatives and publications brought the importance of crystallography to new audiences, actively trained new crystallographers, and raised the profile of a science that is central to so much of our understanding and interaction with the world around us.</p> <p>The conference "Crystallography for the next generation", held in Rabat, Morocco in April 2015, under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohamed VI, reviewed with pride the accomplishments achieved during the International Year, with a forward-looking focus on how to sustain momentum and build on success. At a time when scientific endeavour is critical for societal benefit and the importance of crystallography is greater than ever, crystallography remains a science that still has lower visibility than it should.</p> <p style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-size:large;color:#C22C2C;"><em><strong>We</strong></em></span>, the undersigned, therefore <span style="color:#C22C2C;">commit</span>:</p> <p>1. to enhance the stature of crystallography</p> <ul> <li>by maintaining close liaison and representation between our individual organisations</li> <li>by collaborating on relevant programmes of science policy at regional, international and global scales</li> <li>by forging closer links between the IUCr and other International Scientific Unions</li> <li>by encouraging the recognition of crystallography as an essential component of physics, materials science, chemistry and structural biology, and of its inclusion in curricula for secondary and tertiary-level education</li> <li>by continuing to protect the integrity of science through publication of peer-reviewed journals and reference works of the highest quality;</li> </ul> <p>2. to build capacity in developing regions of the world</p> <ul> <li>by continuing implementation of the OpenLabs and related training initiatives</li> <li>by coordinating strategic projects based on available funds and resources, such as the IUCr "Crystallography in Africa" and the IUCr-ICSU "Building Science Capacity in Africa via Crystallography" programmes, and supporting similar initiatives in Latin America and South-East Asia</li> <li>by encouraging talented students to take advantage of opportunities such as the TWAS Fellowships for Research and Advanced Training</li> <li>by continuing to transfer expertise through Visiting Professorship programmes and regional schools or workshops</li> <li>by working to reduce barriers to the free movement of scientists;</li> </ul> <p>3. to extend further the public understanding of science in general and crystallography in particular</p> <ul> <li>by maintaining and expanding educational and public awareness materials and making them freely available in many languages</li> <li>by direct engagement of practising crystallographers with active school outreach programmes such as UNESCO Associated Schools Network</li> <li>by ongoing development of local crystal-growing activities for schoolchildren and the permanent establishment of a global coordination;</li> </ul> <p>and we call upon our associates, scientific practitioners and educators worldwide to join our organisations in these efforts to sustain and build on the momentum of the International Year of Crystallography in the spirit that now "<span style="color:#C22C2C;"><em>Crystallography matters ... more!</em></span>"</p> <address> <p><span style="font-style: normal;"><strong>Marvin L.

The talk will start with an overview of the achievements of the past century. Due to the development of new experimental and theoretical tools crystallography has obtained the status of a central science, not only from the intellectual point of view, but also for applications. The knowledge of the structure is essential for the study of physical properties. A brief history of this development will be given with emphasis on new tools, biological systems and aperiodic crystals. Finally a number of open problems will be discussed.</p><a class="showmore" href="#2" onclick="toggle_vis('janssen');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#2" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3><strong>19:00 Welcome cocktail</strong> offered by the Hassan II Academy of Science and Technology of Morocco</h3><br /> <h2>Thursday, 23 April</h2> <h3><strong>08:30-10:30 Session 1: Building capacity in crystallography</strong></h3> <p><em>Chair</em>: <strong>Claude Lecomte</strong> | <strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/111697/Session1_Lecomte.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (380 kB)</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width:7em;">08:30-08:40</td> <td style="width:43em;"><strong>Gautam R.

Curie 75005 Paris, France.</p> <p>The introduction  by Janner and Janssen[1] in the 70s of <em>N</em>-dimensional crystallography for describing incommensurate phases and, later, quasicrystals, has generated an important research activity on the new meaning to give to basic concepts like space symmetries, both orientational and translational. In fact none of the incommensurate phases and quasicrystals show symmetries that superimpose exactly the object onto itself so that this concept should take another signification in these compounds. The present talk will first give a very short reminder of group action theory and its application to <em>N</em>-dimensional crystallography. Then, following Bienenstock and Ewald [2] and more recently Mermin [3], it will be shown that the concept of symmetry in <em>N</em>-dimensional crystallography is much better understood in reciprocal space (where experimentalists usually determine the space group) than in direct space. There, the usual notion of superimposing an object on itself by symmetry is  replaced by the more subtle notion of equivalence where two objects are equivalent with respect to a given property if they are undistinguishable under any physical measurements of that property.</p> <p><strong>References</strong><br /> [1] A.

Examples of such tilings are discussed and the rules employed in these tilings are presented. It is demonstrated how a periodic pattern can be transformed into a locally aperiodic Penrose tiling pattern which most efficiently solves the difficult problem of the mathematical aperiodic tiling. Most remarkably, these tilings match with crystal diffraction patterns which exhibit fivefold symmetry. Inevitably, this topic reminds us of the flowering of scientific brilliance in Islam from the ninth to the thirteenth century - a period often described as the "golden age" of Islamic science.</p><a class="showmore" href="#6" onclick="toggle_vis('arik');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#6" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a><br /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>12:30-13:00</td> <td><strong>Ashwini Nangia</strong></td> <td><em>Polymorphs and cocrystals in pharmaceutical development</em></td> <td><strong><a class="showmore" href="#7" onclick="toggle_vis('nangia');">Abstract</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/111709/Session2_Nangia.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (5.74 MB)</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <div class="abstract" id="nangia"> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0010/112042/nangia.jpg" alt="A.

While these advances were successfully exploited in developed countries, they caused developing and less-privileged countries to lag even further behind. These differences could only be overcome with the joint forces of academia, instrumentation manufacturers and large-scale facilities.</p> <p>DECTRIS, a leading manufacturer of X-ray detectors, contributed to this initiative twofold: with financial support of crystallography teaching, enabling admission-free participation, and by addressing the needs of a specific region, with a special focus on Africa. The outcomes of these efforts will be illustrated by the example of OpenFactory, a crystallography school organized by IUCr, IYCr, DECTRIS, STOE and Xenocs. This admission-free school gathered 20 international participants, of which 7 came from African countries, working in various fields of research. After being introduced to the basics of crystallography, diffraction and scattering, this theoretical knowledge was put into practice at STOE's and Xenocs' application laboratories. Such a hands-on experience with modern hardware and software enabled a solid foundation for further research of the participants. The international environment and the variety of research fields, scientific backgrounds and interests opened up possibilities for future projects and collaborations. The outcomes of these projects and DECTRIS' support will be briefly addressed.</p><a class="showmore" href="#3b" onclick="toggle_vis('jung');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#3b" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>15:35-15:50</td> <td><strong>Abdellah Boukhris</strong></td> <td><em>The travelling lab in Morocco</em></td> <td><strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/111723/Session3_Boukhris.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (1.72 MB)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>15:50-16:05</td> <td><strong>Graciela Diaz de Delgado</strong>,</td> <td><em>OpenLabs in Venezuela and Colombia</em></td> <td><strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/111724/Session3_Delgado.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (2.7 MB)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>16:05-16:20</td> <td><strong>Leopoldo Suescun</strong></td> <td><em>OpenLabs in Uruguay</em></td> <td><strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/111725/Session3_Suescun.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (3.21 MB)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>16:20-16:30</td> <td><strong>Ian Williams</strong></td> <td><em>OpenLabs in South East Asia</em></td> <td><strong><a targe="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/111832/Session3_Williams.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (650 kB)</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><strong>16:30-17:00 Tea/Coffee break</strong></p> <h3><strong>17:00-19:00 Session 4: Preparing for the future</strong></h3> <p><em>Chair</em>: <strong>Samar S.

There are only three relatively new X-ray powder diffractometers; one of them is a desktop type. In general, they support research in many fields including geology, chemistry basics and applied agronomy, archeology, physics of surfaces, pharmaceuticals, nanoparticles, nanomaterials and other new materials. Nevertheless, at this moment in Costa Rica and throughout Central America there is no single-crystal X-ray diffractometer. In addition, crystallography has been limited to the use of X-ray diffraction as a simple solid-state characterization technique. Indeed, crystallography is generally referred to as diffractometry. The users are in some sense unconscious; they do not realize what crystallography is and how much can be done in this area.</p> <p>What is Costa Rica doing in crystallography? Efforts have been made to improve our situation in crystallography. Last year in the frame of the IYCr celebration, we carried out four concrete actions:</p> <ol> <li>The first School of Crystallization and Polymorphism, Costa Rica 2014 supported by the IUCr.</li> <li>The National Competition Essay was dedicated to crystallography and was organized by the Foundation for the National Center for Science and Technology (CIENTEC).</li> <li>The conformation of the Costa Rican Union of Crystallography (UCCr) promoted by the National Laboratory of Nanotechnology (LANOTEC).</li> <li>The membership of Costa Rica to the IUCr supported by the National Center of Advanced Technology (CeNAT).</li> </ol> <p>Currently, LANOTEC is promoting an important project for the region, the creation of the Central American node of crystallographic analysis of materials. This node aims to development crystallography in the region, contributing to sustainable development together with research and innovation. This project has the support of the Central American System for Research and Postgraduate (SICAR) that we already have in the region. This project became even more important after the first School of Crystallization and Polymorphism, Costa Rica 2014 by the significant Central American participation that we had.</p> <p>What we expect as a member of the IUCr? As a result of the first School of Crystallization and Polymorphism, Costa Rica 2014, we conformed a group of local researchers on chemistry, material science and nanotechnology (supported by Professor Silvia Cuffini from Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil). This group obtained a local grant for a project research in crystallo-graphy. The project will support formal studies in crystallography and it is expected to attract young scientists to form the human resource that we need. This important step to improve crystallography in our country was possible by the IUCr. Hence, our expectations of being members are quite high. We expected to promote and strengthen international cooperation in crystallography with contributions from members of the IUCr; mainly to form our own human resource to build up crystallography in the country. Hence, we hope to continue with schools and participation in OpenLabs and even better, organize a regional OpenLab in Costa Rica. Thus, encourage the study and dissemination of crystallography not only in Costa Rica but also in the region and, produce international publication of crystallographic investigation of Costa Rica and Central America.</p><a class="showmore" href="#33a" onclick="toggle_vis('costarica');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#33a" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><em>Morocco</em></td> <td><strong>Abdelmalek Thalal</strong></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><em>Pakistan</em></td> <td><strong>Maqsood Ahmed</strong></td> <td><strong><a class="showmore" href="#33b" onclick="toggle_vis('pakistan');">Abstract</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/111734/Session4_Ahmed.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (1.39 MB)</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <div class="abstract" id="pakistan"> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0019/112555/ahmed.jpg" alt="M.

Interestingly, neutron diffraction techniques came much earlier than X-ray diffraction. The establishment of nuclear reactors in the early 1970s at Nilore, Islamabad gave physicists a chance to extensively exploit neutron diffraction methods and a series of papers were published in Acta Crystallographica, notably on Debye-Waller factors. The first single-crystal X-ray diffractometer (SCXRD) was installed at HEJ, University of Karachi in 1986. In 2008 and in 2010, two new SCXRD laboratories were established at universities in Lahore and Sargodha, which have published hundreds of new structures and trained a large number of students, thanks to generous funding by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. Similarly, powder diffraction instruments have been installed at a number of universities and research centers in Pakistan. In 2011, the Pakistan Crystallographic Association was established through a sponsorship by the IUCr. In 2014, Pakistan served as a regional hub to celebrate the International Year of Crystallography. A South Asia summit meeting was held in Karachi which gathered delegates from around 40 countries. An OpenLab was conducted in which lectures and hands-on training was provided to 50 students from eight nationalities through funding from the IUCr and UNESCO. In the same year, Pakistan achieved another milestone by getting regular membership of the IUCr. In 2015, two new SCXRD laboratories are being established at public sector universities in Bahawalpur and Faisalabad. A couple of groups are working on protein crystallography, and one of them has recently collected their first diffraction data of a membrane protein at ELETTRA, Italy. Pakistan is also a partner in the under-construction SESAME synchrotron in Jordan. It is strongly encouraging through all means to produce a critical mass of crystallographers in the country.</p> <p>Single-crystal X-ray diffraction facilities in Pakistan: <strong>(A) Small Molecular Structural Chemistry:</strong><br /> Currently in Pakistan three Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction facilities, equipped with Bruker single-crystal X-ray diffractometers, are functioning. These facilities are located in:</p> <ol> <li>H.E.J.

Crystal geometry and optics were taught in the Geology and Mineralogy Departments to prepare students for microscopic investigation of crystalline materials. In some departments, X-ray powder diffractometers were used for materials identification. In Physics and Chemistry Departments, crystal symmetry, physical and chemical properties of crystals were taught without structure analysis. In 1970, a molecular structure determination laboratory was established in the Department of Physics at Hacettepe University in Ankara and in 1992, the first four-circle diffractometer was installed at the same department, the only one in Turkey. Since then, this laboratory has become the leading centre of X-ray crystallography in the country. Today, most universities and research institutions in Turkey have groups pursuing molecular structure determination by crystallography.</p> <p>Some laboratories running X-ray diffraction facilities exist as research infrastructure of the Applied Physics and Material Science Departments. In addition to these, there are many industrial institutions in Turkey including labs that perform powder diffraction for materials characterization and quality control.</p> <p>Protein crystallography only started in the 2000s, but unfortunately still remains a less studied area in Turkey. In Biology or Chemistry Departments of some universities, the areas of specialization include molecular biology and cloning, protein isolation and characterization and 3D structure determination using synchrotron X-ray solution scattering and diffraction techniques. The Turkish Crystallographic Association (TCA) was established in 2001 to promote crystallography, raise scientific awareness and train young researchers. The TCA organizes biennial national meetings and workshops on different areas of crystallography. The Association is a member representing Turkey in the European Crystallographic Association and the IUCr.</p><a class="showmore" href="#34a" onclick="toggle_vis('turkey');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#34a" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><em>Uruguay</em></td> <td><strong>Leopoldo Suescun</strong></td> <td><strong><a class="showmore" href="#34b" onclick="toggle_vis('uruguay');">Abstract</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/wDAE0pKhowI">Video <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0018/111726/video.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <div class="abstract" id="uruguay"> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0019/112348/suescun.jpg" alt="L.

In our small community, only two or three dozen professors or researchers are crystallographers or frequent users of crystallography. This group of crystallographers, together with a growing number of undergraduate and graduate students, are part of the "Red Uruguaya de Cristalografía" that had its first meeting on 12 December 2014 with the participation of 40 people (25 posters, 6 young scientists selected talks). In the academic community there are well-established groups performing physical, chemical and biological crystallography. All these groups own some piece of equipment and develop research in cooperation within or outside the region and routinely use synchrotron facilities in the Americas (Brazil, USA) and/or Europe (France). There is frequent use of crystallography (mainly powder diffraction) by geologists also in academia, but no expert mineralogist or geologist using X-ray diffraction as the main characterization technique. Regarding equipment, there are three powder diffractometers in operation in the State University (Universidad de la República), one recently acquired single-crystal diffractometer devoted to small-molecule crystallography (also at UdelaR) and one devoted to protein crystallography (at Institut Pasteur de Montevideo) accompanied by the required automated crystal growth and evaluation equipment. There is also one texture diffractometer in operation (UdelaR). All this equipment is available to academia and industry. Powder diffraction is routinely used by industry in the pharmaceutical, mineralogical and food sectors with the main purpose of qualitative analysis, quality control of imported goods or characterization of defective products. Some use for conservation of cultural heritage has also been registered. Training in crystallography is routinely given at UdelaR in a specific Crystallography course, mainly for chemistry and biology students; however, basic concepts and overview of application of X-ray diffraction are also included in Materials Science, Chemical Physics or Chemistry courses in at least half a dozen graduate and undergraduate courses.</p><a class="showmore" href="#34b" onclick="toggle_vis('uruguay');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#34b" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><em>Venezuela</em></td> <td><strong>Graciela Diaz de Delgado</strong></td> <td><strong><a class="showmore" href="#34c" onclick="toggle_vis('venezuela');">Abstract</a></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <div class="abstract" id="venezuela"> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0020/112349/delgado.jpg" alt="G.

Interest and experience with X-rays in Venezuela dates back to just a few months after their discovery. The news of the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895 was received in Venezuela with great enthusiasm, especially by the medical community. Antonio Pedro Mora, Venezuelan chemist and inventor, presented on 26 April 1896 an X-ray generator which he designed and built with the help of Guillermo Delgado Palacios, a physician and chemist. By the end of 1899, the first commercial X-ray machine (Edison) was purchased in Maracaibo and was used intensively for medical purposes. Mora was the founder in August of 1895 of Chemistry studies at the School of Engineering of Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) in Caracas and was Director of the "Laboratorio Nacional", a laboratory founded in 1890 by the prominent chemist Vicente Marcano. This laboratory became an important center for analytical services and part of the work included studies of minerals from different regions of the country by conventional methods used in mineralogy. People working in this lab were also instrumental in creating the first School of Chemistry in the country at UCV.</p> <p>Since science undergraduate degree programs in Venezuelan Universities have required carrying out a research project for two semesters, writing a thesis and making a public presentation of the work before a committee, chemistry and physics degree programs incorporated characterization by powder and single crystal diffraction. Even after graduate degree programs started and began to consolidate, undergraduate degree research in Crystallography maintains its importance. In 1967, Argentinians Mario Amzel, Leo Becka and Sergio Baggio were hired to work at UCV and started supervising undergraduate degree theses based on crystallographic work. Eldrys Rodulfo de Gil, after graduation from UCV and University of Wisconsin, founded the Crystallography Laboratory of ULA (Mérida, Venezuela), which last year celebrated its 45th anniversary. In recent years, this laboratory has been central to teaching the new generation of crystallographers in Venezuela and in neighboring countries such as Colombia. Several crystallography laboratories in the country address a variety of structural and characterization problems. Among them are the research laboratories at IVIC (Caracas and Maracaibo), UCV and USB in Caracas, UDO-Cumaná, UNEXPO-PO, as well as the laboratories in the oil (PDVSA-INTEVEP) and aluminum industries.</p> <p>In this contribution, a general review of the current studies being carried out in Venezuela using diffraction techniques will be presented. In spite of some difficulties and economic hardships, Venezuelan crystallographers continue to work enthusiastically on materials with applications in catalysis, organic and organometallic synthesis, pharmaceutically related compounds and natural products, among other materials.</p><a class="showmore" href="#34c" onclick="toggle_vis('venezuela');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#34c" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>18:00-19:00 <em><strong>Open discussion</strong></em></p> <p><em>Core questions</em>:</p> <ol> <li><em>Why should a country become a member of IUCr and of a Regional Associate and what are the modalities and benefits?</em></li> <li><em>How do the IUCr facilitate intra-regional cooperation?</em></li> <li><em>What actions should be undertaken to facilitate the process?</em></li> <li><em>Can international institutions (e.g., UNESCO, ICSU, TWAS) help?</em></li> <li><em>What educational and technical support do the IUCr provide?</em></li> <li><em>How else can Regional Associates work with the IUCr to further promote crystallography?</em></li> </ol> <h2>Friday, 24 April</h2> <h3><strong>08:30-10:30 Session 5: Phosphates</strong></h3> <p><em>Chair</em>: <strong>Amalhay Mohamed</strong></p> <table style="width:90%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width:7em;">08:30-09:00</td> <td style="width:17em;"><strong>Abdelaziz El Jazouli</strong></td> <td style="width:26em;"><em>Crystal Chemistry, Properties and Applications of Phosphates</em></td> <td style="width:22em;"><strong><a class="showmore" href="#8" onclick="toggle_vis('jazouli');">Abstract</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/111806/Session5_ElJazouli.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (2.16 MB)</td> <td style="max-width:100%;"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <div class="abstract" id="jazouli"> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0003/112575/eljazouli.jpg" alt="A.

It describes the principles governing the distribution of atoms within the structure and the nature of the chemical bonding. From this analysis the nature of the material such as insulator, semiconductor, conductor and iono-covalent character can be determined, and its physical and chemical properties can be inferred. Assuming the definition of Corbridge [1], "normal" phosphates refer to compounds in which the P atoms are tetrahedrally surrounded by four oxygen atoms. [PO<sub>4</sub>] tetrahedra can be isolated or connected to each other by sharing corners to form condensed phosphates [2]. The various crystal structures of the phosphates lead to the materials with applications in several industrial fields. To illustrate the relationships between crystal structure and properties of phosphates, this presentation will focus on examples of compounds in which [PO<sub>4</sub>] tetrahedra are connected with [<em>M</em>O<sub><em>n</em></sub>] polyhedra (where <em>M</em> is a metal). Most of these phosphates have found applications as cathodes for rechargeable lithium ion batteries, low thermal expansion ceramics, composite ceramics, non-linear optics, lasers, LEDs, and, last but not least, biomaterials [3].</p> <p><strong>References</strong><br /> [1] D.

At the beginning of the last century, demand for phosphates and fertilizers increased rapidly because of the growth in world population. Many phosphate industries have been developed to ensure global food security. This talk will give an overview of OCP's experience in the phosphate industry, which started with mining operations in Khouribga and continues with the transformation of phosphate at Safi and Jorf Lasfar chemical platforms. We will also present OCP's activities and mixed products of phosphates and derivatives like DAP (binary fertilizer), TSP (full phosphate fertilizer), MAP (binary fertilizer consisting of phosphorus and nitrogen agents) and NPK (ternary fertilizer).  OCP also makes products based on high performance and a sustainable agriculture approach. The last part will be reserved to the OCP innovation and R&D. We will give information about:</p> <ul> <li>R&D strategy and organization able to give researchers the necessary flexibility to deploy the R&D program.</li> <li>Overview of R&D topics and R&D program.</li> </ul>The focus will be on phosphate-based materials.<a class="showmore" href="#9" onclick="toggle_vis('omari');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#9" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>09:30-10:00</td> <td><strong>Alain Ibanez</strong></td> <td><em>Solution growths of remarkable phosphate crystals: From lab researches to industrial applications</em></td> <td><strong><a class="showmore" href="#10" onclick="toggle_vis('ibanez');">Abstract</a> </strong></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <div class="abstract" id="ibanez"> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0014/112136/ibanez.jpg" alt="A.

Ménaert<br /> Institut Néel, CNRS and University Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France; alain.ibanez@grenoble.cnrs.fr</p> <p>We will present the growth of several families of phosphate crystals, which exhibit remarkable properties such as high nonlinear optical efficiencies and piezoelectricity. As phosphate materials do not melt congruently due generally to partial decompositions at high temperatures, their crystal growth is performed below their melting temperature by involving solvents. We will first introduce different types of standard methods for the crystal growth of phosphates in solution at low (close to room temperature) and high temperatures (up to 1000 °C). Indeed, through several examples taken from our studies at CNRS-Grenoble, we will illustrate techniques such as slow cooling, temperature gradient and flux methods for the growth of hybrid organic inorganic salts, potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) and crystals of the potassium titanyl phosphate family (KTP). The growth of these crystals is motivated by their remarkable properties for nonlinear optics based on their non-centrosymmetric structures that allow the development of highly efficient optical frequency conversion devices like optical parametric oscillators. In addition to these standard solution growth techniques, some more particular ones will be also presented. Indeed, solution crystal growth at low temperature, carried out under typical conditions at low supersaturations of the solutions (relative supersaturations σ of around 1%), exhibit low growth rates, less than 1 mm/day. By applying an overheating and/or an ultrasonic treatment of the solution, it is possible to inhibit the spurious nucleation that takes place at higher supersaturations. Thus, through this type of treatment of the solution during the crystal growth process, higher supersaturations can be applied, σ around 10-30%, and thus increase significantly the growth rates, over 1 cm/day. These rapid crystal growths will be illustrated in the cases of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and hybrid organic-inorganic salts.</p> <p>Finally, hydrothermal techniques will be presented in the case of aluminium and gallium orthophosphate crystals, which are isomorphous to α-quartz. These crystals exhibit promising piezoelectric properties for the development of resonators and physical sensors under extreme conditions (high temperatures and pressures). Moreover, for all of these phosphate crystal growths, we will give examples of industrial processes, particularly for the growth of KDP, KTP and GaPO<sub>4</sub> crystals.</p><a class="showmore" href="#10" onclick="toggle_vis('ibanez');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#10" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>10:00-10:30</td> <td><strong>G.

My focus on the uniqueness of phosphorus follows a challenging and original statement by my Cambridge mentor Lord Todd FRS, Nobel Laureate in Kyoto in 1982: "Where there's Life there's Phosphorus".</p> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0013/112135/cartoon.jpg" style="float:right;margin-left:10px;" height="160" width="194" />In this IYCr Legacy Lecture, I shall seek to justify my lecture title claim from both ends. From a prebiotic beginning I shall ask: How did planet Earth get enough phosphorus to support life? There is no place more appropriate than Morocco from where to survey whether earth has sufficient reserves of phosphorus to sustain life into the next millennium. Then from today's knowledge of the amazing diversity of functions for phosphate in cellular organization and activity, I shall ask: How do we now perceive the uniqueness of phosphate for its multiple roles in life? Today, we know that the central paradox of phosphate in the biosphere is the contrast between the amazing stability of phosphate esters that is fundamental for their role in the integrity of our genes set against the secure compartmentalization of key metabolites to avoid life-threatening dispersal in our hydrosphere. Phosphate gives DNA its amazing stability, with a half-life of the phosphate diester backbone greater than the life of our universe. That contrasts with the remarkable power of enzymatic phosphorylation/dephosphorylation to make possible the control of cellular behaviour on the millisecond time scale needed for cellular activity. [I shall ask, if time permits, whether there was any alternative to phosphate for evolution of terrestrial life.]</p> <p>Above all, I shall explore how evolution has developed enzymes capable of reducing the inherent stability of phosphate esters by a factor approaching 10<sup>21</sup>. They embody a power of catalysis unsurpassed anywhere else in life, as wonderfully revealed in thousands of protein structures having phosphate ligands (the Protein Data Bank has 4145 structure entries for PO<sub>4</sub> to date).</p> <p>Reference: M.W.

Since this date, the activities of research and teaching are led in our university and precisely within the department of physics. It is necessary to note that our university has never had a diffractometer. All our measurements have been done either in Marseille or in Montpellier. Today, we do our measurements in Marseille and in Nancy. Currently, our laboratory is composed of two professors, four masters of conferences, four attending masters, a helper and an engineer. There are five students in thesis and five in master. A first team leads his activities of research on the structural determination of derivatives of benzimidazole and the modelling of their biological activities and also on the modelling of the electronic density of coumarin. A second team works on potassium deficiency in oil palms and nitrogen and water deficiency in corn by laser-induced fluorescence. The third team works on the quantification of the electronic states of diatomic molecules such as NaK.</p> <p>With IYCr, Ivory Coast is going to receive thanks to IUCr and Bruker, a single-crystal diffractometer and a powder diffractometer. With this acquisition, Ivory Coast will become a centre of excellence for crystallographic studies in West Africa. It opens new perspectives in the domain of the mining research because Ivory Coast possesses important layers. In the domain of the pharmacopeia of Ivory Coast, these devices will bring an answer to the problem of the structural determination of the active molecules of our plants.</p> <p>We work in collaboration with the Organic Chemistry laboratory, the Chemistry laboratory of the inorganic materials, the laboratory of the Pharmaceutical Sciences and the laboratory of Biochemistry of our university. We also work with the Organic Chemistry laboratory of the University of Ouagadougou and with the laboratory of crystallography, magnetic resonance and modelling of Nancy. A laboratory of mine and geology exists in our university. There is also a society for the mining development in Ivory Coast. We will be able to reinforce our collaboration with these two structures.</p><a class="showmore" href="#6a" onclick="toggle_vis('coulibaly');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#6a" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>11:30-11:50</td> <td><strong>Anaclet Fomethe</strong> (Rector of U.

In this view, the Ministry of Higher Education in Cameroon has given by law to the academic orientation in Cameroon a particular importance to this discipline. Priority was given to the training of young physicists, chemists, biologists and students of earth sciences. However, with the economic crisis that has disrupted the development of African countries and particularly Cameroon in the 1990s, the lack of equipment has had an impact on the skills targeted by these teachings and scientific research. In this context, the IUCr Crystallography in Africa initiative and the activities for celebration of the IYCr have been welcome.</p> <p>In this initiative, arrangements were made by the University of Dschang (Cameroon) to contribute to achieve the mission of the IUCr. Some of these achievements are the creation in 2012 of the Cameroonian Crystallography Association (CCA) and the establishment of a partnership between the University of Dschang, IUCr and Bruker AXS. The first actions of this partnership were the installation of a powder diffractometer D5000 at the University of Dschang in 2014, the organization of two schools and sub-regional workshops at the University of Dschang. Could be also mentioned the reinforcement of the capacities of some researchers and professors from Cameroon and from other countries in Sub Saharan Africa in well-equipped laboratories, and through the attendance of schools and high-level seminars. The impact of these actions is already visible on the training of young students at the University of Dschang. These benefits are also expected in the materials and mining industries throughout the sub-region.

In the 1990s many other labs were created in Sfax, Monastir, Bizerte, etc. with modest diffraction equipment working on several fields, for example apatite, cements, zeolites, phosphates, arsenates, hybrids, organics and organometallics.</p> <p>Actually, if the industry is quite devoid of diffraction hardware, X-ray facilities are mainly installed in the university. In the north, the Faculty of Science of Bizerte is endowed with Bruker Mach3 and D8 diffractometers. In the capital Tunis a CAD4 and a D8 are installed in the chemistry department and a PANalytical powder diffractometer in the Geology Department. In Monastir, a Mach3 is installed in the Chemistry Department. The south of the country is also equipped by a Bruker D8, a Siemens D5000 and a Bruker CCD diffractometer. More recently, a Siemens D5000 is running in the Physics Department in the Faculty of Science of Gabes.</p> <p>On the other hand, crystallography is present in fundamental teaching since 1st year university and the teacher's level is good. The Tunisian Crystallographic Association (TCA) organizes every 2 years the Tunisian Crystallographic Meeting, and the Tunisian Chemical Society (SCT) organizes also a biennial Solid State Meeting.</p> <p>Nowadays, more than 100 confirmed Tunisian crystallographers are distributed in a dozen labs and struggling - along with a total absence of political will - to promote science and particularly purchase new (or used) diffraction hardware. Furthermore, maintenance and management of the heavy equipment is poor. Access to the European diffraction facilities (e.g. ESRF, PSI) is becoming more and more difficult. Only tentative partnership programmes between Tunisian and foreign labs can give some satisfaction to young Tunisian researchers.</p><a class="showmore" href="#6c" onclick="toggle_vis('boughzala');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#6c" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>12:10-12:30</td> <td><strong>Andreas Roodt</strong></td> <td><em>Outcomes of IYCr African Summit meeting</em></td> <td><strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/111814/Session6_Summit_Roodt.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (2.46 MB)</td> <td></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>12:30-13:00 Delegates of African countries attending the conference give a short overview of the local situation about crystallography (5 minutes each):</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width:7em;"> </td> <td style="width:17em;"><strong>Hocine Merazig</strong></td> <td style="width:26em;"><em>Algeria</em></td> <td style="width:22em;"><strong><a class="showmore" href="#12" onclick="toggle_vis('merazig');">Abstract</a></strong></td> <td style="max-width:100%;"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <div class="abstract" id="merazig"> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0018/112680/merazig.jpg" alt="H.

The IYCr was inaugurated by the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, an act that shows the importance that our highest authorities accord to crystallography. Photos from the opening session will be broadcast on our university website.</p> <p>The Algerian Association of Crystallography acts tirelessly to promote crystallography in Algeria. Thus, in order to make this discipline known to a large public and to attract young talent, open-door days, aimed at high school and university students, were held at the University of Constantine in April and May 2014 by the Algerian Crystallography Association. The atmosphere was relaxed, the discussions were candid and the students' interest in the subject was evident. Minicompetitions were organized. The audience was large and the experience was successful. The General Secretary at the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research was present at this event. He expressed his satisfaction and said he was impressed by the ambient dynamism.</p> <p>A caravan "discovering the crystal" travelled all around the country in the autumn of 2014. A poster exhibition, demonstrations and lectures have punctuated the visits to several university cities, both those where crystallography is already well implanted and those where crystallography is in an emerging phase. The Secretary General at the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, whose interest in these events is very high, strongly encouraged the continuation of such initiatives.</p> <p>Continuing its public awareness programme, the Algerian Association of Crystallography, under the auspices of the IUCr, Bruker and UNESCO, is organizing an OpenLab from 9 to 14 May 2015 at the University of Constantine. Lectures on crystallography, from the founding concepts to the more complex concepts, and an initiation in the use of computer equipment and in the use of data-processing programs will be presented in this school.</p><a class="showmore" href="#12" onclick="toggle_vis('merazig');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#12" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><strong>Patricia W.

Gitari<br /> University of Nairobi, Kenya; patricia.gitari@uonbi.ac.ke</p> <p>In Kenya, X-ray diffractometers are few, mainly in Government laboratories, for example, Geology and Mines; privately and publicly funded research centres; and in a few academic institutions. Crystallographic techniques in the country mainly have applications in determination of bulk mineral assemblages in rocks, clays, ores, particulates and metallurgical products. Tertiary institutions have adopted crystallography in science curricula, including physics, biology, chemistry, geology and metallurgy. These courses have proven to be very popular with both undergraduate and postgraduate students due to the dynamic nature of the technique. However, research activities have been hindered by a lack of modern equipment and poor maintenance of the existing ones.</p> <p>The Government of Kenya has committed to a substantial increase in funding of science, technology, innovation with the enactment of STI (Act No. 28 of 2013). However, with most research activities leaning towards solving problems that have a direct impact on the socio-economic status of the citizens, a large percentage of funding is allocated to agriculture, health, water and sanitation. This is largely due to the fact that scientists have not made enough effort to sensitise policy makers to the role of crystallography in the achievement of development goals of the country.</p> <p>One solution to this low awareness of crystallography in Kenya is to encourage international collaboration within the region and beyond. The East African Community (EAC) is the regional intergovernmental organisation of the Republics of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, the United Republic of Tanzania and the Republic of Uganda. An initiative driven by the East African countries would reach a much wider population, and consolidation of resources will reduce the overall cost of equipping and maintaining centres of excellence.</p><a class="showmore" href="#13" onclick="toggle_vis('gitari');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#13" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><strong>Abdelmalek Thalal</strong></td> <td><em>Morocco</em></td> <td><strong><a class="showmore" href="#14" onclick="toggle_vis('thalal');">Abstract</a></strong></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <div class="abstract" id="thalal"> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0011/112331/thalal.jpg" alt="A.

Analysis and characterization centers have been established at several universities to optimize equipment and create synergy between researchers [1].</p> <p>Morocco has a notable scientific and human potential in this field. About more than 400 researchers have direct or indirect connections with crystallography. They use X-rays, the scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy as means of investigation equipment. Researchers are working in physics, chemistry, geology and biology laboratories in universities, engineering colleges and other institutes of technology [2].</p> <p>Crystallography is taught from the second academic year. Students receive, each year, basic knowledge in crystallography; a large number of them graduate in physics or chemistry. A significant number continue their postgraduate studies in Masters and PhD in the areas using crystallography [3].</p> <p>Research in crystallography covers a broad spectrum of activity, particularly in materials science and inorganic chemistry. Over the last years, crystallography has begun to attract researchers working in the field of organic chemistry, biochemistry and medicinal chemistry. Moreover, recently crystallography has become an important part of research on art and cultural heritage [2].</p> <p>In 2002, Moroccan crystallographers gathered to found the Moroccan Association of Crystallography. This association is a network for all its adherents; it contributes to the effort of equipment and maintenance, organizes schools and conferences and provides to the Moroccan universities the main scientific journals in crystallography. It also contributes to the training of young researchers, both in theoretical and practical crystallography and in crystallographic software. The Moroccan Crystallographic Association has been a member of the European Crystallographic Association since 2002, and recently member of the IUCr. It participates actively in the program "Crystallography in Africa" launched by the IUCr. The Moroccan Crystallographic Association, which spearheaded the IYCr2014 project, has celebrated the International Year of Crystallography by organizing the First African School of Crystallography, three OpenLabs for French-speaking Africans, crystallization contests in schools and several large public conferences.</p> <p>References</p> <p>[1] Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research http://www.enssup.gov.ma<br /> [2] Sources: archive Moroccan universities http://www.maroc-adresses.com/<br /> [3] Moroccan Institute for Scientific and Technical Information http://toubkal.imist.ma</p><a class="showmore" href="#14" onclick="toggle_vis('thalal');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#14" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><strong>Magatte Camara</strong></td> <td><em>Senegal</em></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><strong>J.J.

This has been aided by domain specific databases, such as the Protein Data Bank and Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) - the world's repository for organic and organometallic small-molecule crystal structures. Powerful software has also been developed to allow structures to be accessed, searched and analysed - leading to a myriad of research opportunities, both for well-funded universities and those operating in more challenging environments.</p> <p>One such institute is the University of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The structural chemistry research group, coordinated by Professor Zéphirin G. Yav, has collaborated with the CCDC for several years, using the CSD System in teaching and research. Visits from CCDC staff to the University of Kinshasa have helped train educators and students in structural chemistry, and the joint appointment of graduate students has led to successful research projects on the use of the CSD system and other computational chemistry resources to study intermolecular interactions involving the element selenium.</p> <p>This presentation, timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the CSD, will show how structural chemistry research can be successful in difficult environments.</p><a class="showmore" href="#16" onclick="toggle_vis('groom');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#16" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>14:45-15:45 <strong style="font-style: italic;">Open discussion</strong> (Chairs: <strong>Claude Lecomte</strong> and <strong>Jean Paul Ngome Abiaga</strong>)</p> <p><em>Core questions</em>:</p> <ol> <li><em>What activities can be started to spark interest in crystallography in emerging countries?</em></li> <li><em>What support do the IUCr provide to young African researchers?</em></li> <li><em>How to build a network of researchers and facilities within the continent?</em></li> <li><em>How can the industry and international institutions help?</em></li> <li><em>How can we work more effectively with University administrations and reduce times for installations of crystallographic instrumentation?</em></li> <li><em>What is the role of SESAME and other large-scale facilities for Africa and what are the possibilities of access for African researchers?</em></li> </ol> <h3><strong>15:45-17:00 Session 7: Outreach activities at large-scale facilities</strong></h3> <p><em>Chair</em>: <strong>Susan Schorr</strong> and <strong>Jennifer L.

The basic principles of X-ray crystallography were discovered by Max von Laue and the Braggs father and son. Since then, this method seemed appealing to determine the 3D structures of important biological molecules. The development and implementation of high-energy synchrotron radiation sources have allowed advances on this field.</p> <p>An effort to transfer the cutting-edge technology of crystallography to Jordan started in 2014. A national project to establish the Protein Crystallisation Facility has been implemented to be a cornerstone of crystallography. Jordan has the potential to be a research centre in this field as it has two big radiation facilities under construction: The Synchrotron Facility [Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME)] and the Jordan Research and Training Reactor (JRTR).</p> <p>As is the case in most developing counties, scientific research funding is not a priority in Jordan due to limited resources and escalating development challenges. To develop research related to crystallography it is necessary to have very expensive equipment, which is usually beyond the capability of individual researchers. Because of that, many researchers are reluctant to carry out studies on this field. Therefore, a national facility can be envisioned as an innovative, synergistic research centre that will help researchers to carry out experiments and undergo training. However, establishing such a facility would benefit from the support of international organizations.</p><a class="showmore" href="#8c" onclick="toggle_vis('abuhammad');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#8c" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>16:35-16:50</td> <td><strong>Alison Edwards</strong> (ANSTO)</td> <td><em>ANSTO - A bright future going forward with crystallography</em></td> <td><strong><a class="showmore" href="#8d" onclick="toggle_vis('edwards');">Abstract</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/111824/Session7_Edwards.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (1.11 MB)</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <div class="abstract" id="edwards"> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0013/112342/edwards.jpg" alt="A.

About half of the spectrometers are in fact diffractometers with research topics ranging from fuel cells to (multi)ferroics, superconductors, guest-host systems, metallurgy, nano-objects and spintronics.</p> <p>In charge of the French contribution to the future European neutron source, ESS, in Sweden, LLB will be partner for the design and construction of instruments, among which a new generation of time-of-flight diffractometers which will also open new perspectives in neutron crystallography.</p><a class="showmore" href="#8e" onclick="toggle_vis('porcher');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#8e" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><strong>17:00-17:30 Tea/Coffee break</strong></p> <h3>17:30-19:00 Session 8: Initiatives and opportunities at the IUCr</h3> <p><em>Chair</em>: <strong>Jonathan Agbenyega</strong></p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width:7em;">17:30-17:45</td> <td style="width:12em;"><strong>Jonathan Agbenyega</strong></td> <td style="width:31em;"><em>IUCr meeting the changing needs: the future of scholarly communications</em></td> <td style="width:22em;"><strong><a class="showmore" href="#8a" onclick="toggle_vis('agbenyega');">Abstract</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/111829/Session8_Agbenyega.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (1.89 MB)</td> <td style="max-width:100%;"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <div class="abstract" id="agbenyega"> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0016/112336/agbenyega.jpg" alt="J.

Back in 1957, the number of crystallographers in the directory was not very large, 2255 coming from 52 countries, and amongst these original crystallographers there was a strong feeling of belonging to a single family.</p> <p>This feeling of belonging still remains today and we have well over 12,000 searchable entries; however, many other variables have changed, and the IUCr as a scholarly Union needs to embrace these changes and develop new tools and functionality to ensure we continue to deliver a valuable service to our community in the 21st century.</p> <p>Our publishing partner, John Wiley and Sons, recently conducted a membership survey which was sent to over 1.2 million research professionals, across 75 disciplines. It was sent both to members and non-members of societies and scholarly associations. In scope and scale, it is unprecedented in the academic and scholarly association market. The goal of this project is to learn more about how research professionals such as yourself view scholarly associations such as the IUCr, how you interact with them and how we can provide you with the services you need to conduct your research efficiently and communicate your results to the widest possible audience. Wiley plans to repeat this study annually in order to gather trends in the market and changes in behaviour over time.</p> <p>With a greater knowledge of crystallographers' needs and expectations, the WDC will be better placed to work towards becoming more valued and relevant. And, by knowing more about why you refresh, join, or do not join, scholarly associations, we can continue to grow and provide for our communities.</p><a class="showmore" href="#8a" onclick="toggle_vis('agbenyega');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#8a" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>17:45-18:15</td> <td><strong>Brian McMahon</strong></td> <td><em>Knowledge resources for the crystallographers of tomorrow</em></td> <td><strong><a class="showmore" href="#8b" onclick="toggle_vis('mcmahon');">Abstract</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/111830/Session8_McMahon.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (5.8 MB)</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <div class="abstract" id="mcmahon"> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0017/112337/mcmahon.jpg" alt="B. McMahon" align="left" height="120" hspace="10" width="89" />Brian McMahon<br /> International Union of Crystallography, Chester, UK; bm@iucr.org</p> <p>Among the aims of an International Scientific Union must be the safeguarding and onward transmission of the knowledge that is both the result of scientific inquiry and the basis for future explorations. As Isaac Newton put it, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." The IUCr makes these aims explicit in its mission statement (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.iucr.org">www.iucr.org</a>): promote international publication of crystallographic research, ... facilitate standardization of methods, units, nomenclatures and symbols, and ... form a focus for the relations of crystallography to other sciences. Much effort has been spent by the IUCr since its beginnings in 1947 to realise these aims. Alone among Scientific Unions, it publishes a range of primary research journals, and is responsible for <em>International Tables for Crystallography</em>, a series of reference books that encapsulate both fundamental data and best scientific practice in crystallography and related structural sciences. A dedicated Commission is responsible for Crystallographic Nomenclature, and other standardisation efforts are the responsibility of all Commissions and the Committee responsible for maintaining the CIF information exchange and archival standard. In the computer age, electronic resources are increasingly important, not only for archiving and providing access to scientific results, but also for facilitating the peer review and data validation processes, and for allowing access to, and reuse of, the experimental data supporting crystal structures and other scientific outcomes. The IUCr web sites also provide facilities for the community of crystallographers to contact and interact with each other, using appropriate social media and other tools. The public outreach activities of the IUCr during the International Year of Crystallography have opened new avenues for communication and education. Meanwhile the accession of new member countries to the IUCr continues to bring younger scientific communities together worldwide. As the scientific world expands, the IUCr remains committed to its mission of preserving and sharing knowledge, and of passing it on to the generations of scientists yet to come.</p><a class="showmore" href="#8b" onclick="toggle_vis('mcmahon');"><strong>(hide |</strong></a> <a class="showless" href="#8b" onclick="$('.abstract').hide();"><strong>hide all)</strong></a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>18:15-19:00 <em><strong>Open discussion</strong></em></p> <p><em>Core questions</em>:</p> <ol> <li><em>What do the IUCr do to give access (publishing and reading) to crystallographic information?</em></li> <li><em>What do the IUCr do to communicate science?</em></li> <li><em>What do the IUCr do to connect researchers and how can the WDC be improved?</em></li> <li><em>How can the IUCr Newsletter become a vehicle for researchers to keep up to date with what is happening in the wider community?</em></li> <li><em>Should the IUCr reinforce relationships with other societies (e.g., IUPAC, IUPAP, IUBMB, etc) to widen the community and improve interactions?</em></li> </ol> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width:7em;">19:00-19:10</td> <td style="width:9em;"><strong>Michele Zema</strong></td> <td style="width:34em;"><em>Concluding remarks and opening of the IYCr Legacy initiative</em></td> <td style="width:22em;"><strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/111831/Session8_Zema.pdf">Presentation <img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0009/80199/pdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="pdf" /></a></strong> (972 kB)</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <style type="text/css";> a:hover { text-decoration: none; } td { vertical-align: top; } img { vertical-align: top; } .showless { font-size: smaller; } .showmore { font-size: smaller; } div.abstract { display: none; font-size: small; margin-left: 4em; margin-bottom:1em; background-color: mistyrose; padding-bottom:1em; } h4 { color: black; } </style> <script type="text/javascript";> function toggle_vis(id) { var e = document.getElementById(id); if (e.style.display == 'block') e.style.display = 'none'; else e.style.display = 'block'; } </script> </span> </div> <div class="tabbertab" title="Photos"> <span id="new_div_112346"> <div id="content_div_27332"> <h1>Crystallography for the next generation: the legacy of IYCr</h1> <h2>Rabat, Morocco</h2> <h3>22 April - 24 April 2015</h3> <p>The conference "<a href="https://www.iycr2014.org/legacy/conference">Crystallography for the next generation: the legacy of IYCr</a>" was held at the prestigious venue of the Hassan II Academy of Science and Technology of Morocco under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. The conference was jointly organised by the International Union of Crystallography and the Moroccan Crystallographic Association, under the auspices and with the support of: UNESCO, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization; ICSU ROA, International Council for Science - Regional Office for Africa; TWAS, The World Academy of Science. In keeping with the desire to continue many of the initiatives undertaken during IYCr2014, the "IYCr legacy" conference was held in lieu of a "Closing" ceremony for the International Year of Crystallography. The conference reviewed all the activities associated with IYCr - all that has been (and is being) done, what was successful, what was not so successful, etc. - and discussed how to transform the activities into long-term sustainable actions.</p> <hr /> <div class="gallery_item"> <div class="gallery_frame"> <div class="gallery_caption"> Hassan II Academy of Science and Technology. </div> <div

generation: the legacy of IYCr</em>", which will be held at the prestigious venue of the Hassan II Academy of Science and Technology of Morocco in Rabat on 22-24 April 2015.</p> <p>In keeping with our desire to continue many of the initiatives undertaken this past year, the "IYCr legacy" conference will be held in lieu of a "Closing" ceremony for the International Year of Crystallography. This conference is aimed at reviewing all the activities associated with IYCr - all that has been (and is being) done, what was successful, what was not so successful, etc. - and discussing how to transform the activities into long-term sustainable actions.</p> <p>The presence of all parties involved in the capacity building actions taken during IYCr2014 and of all those interested in a broader dissemination of crystallography is fundamental for planning the activities for 2015 and beyond that will continue to grow a larger and larger crystallographic community, increase awareness of our discipline and improve educational opportunities for students of all levels.</p> <address> <p><span style="font-style: italic;">Abdelmalek Thalal<br /></span>Michele Zema<br /> Claude Lecomte</p> </address> <address> <p><span style="font-style: normal;">Co-chairs of the conference </span></p> </address> </div> </div> <div class="tabbertab" title="Welcome"> <div id="intro"> </div> <div id="thumbnails">  <div style="float: left;

I would like to express our gratitude to the co-organizers - Abdelmalek Thalal, Claude Lecomte, Michele Zema; the Moroccan Crystallographic Association; and the Academie Hassan II des Science & Techniques for hosting us in Rabat, Morocco. The IUCr is also proud and grateful for the support and cooperation of UNESCO, ICSU, TWAS and our industrial partners in putting this conference together. We are also grateful to the Moroccan delegation to the United Nations for their efforts to make our dream of an IYCr a reality.</p> <p>This conference - "Crystallography for the next generation: the legacy of IYCr" - serves multiple purposes. In one sense it is the formal closing of IYCr2014, and an opportunity to review and celebrate all the good things that have happened during IYCr2014. Over the course of this conference we will have the opportunity to proudly look back at some of the many activities that have taken place over the past two years, with a special focus on crystallography in Northern Africa. However, this conference is also the opening of the IYCr Legacy - a plan to continue and build on the successes of IYCr2014. There is no reason we should stop promoting crystallography just because our International Year has run its course.</p> <p>One of the goals for this conference will be to plot a course going forward, recognizing that it takes time, talent and resources to support these wonderful activities. The IUCr is exploring ways of generating funds for this purpose, such as the creation of the IYCr Legacy Fund, and welcomes opportunities to partner with others to fund future IYCr2014 Legacy activities.</p> <p>My heartfelt thanks again to the organizers for putting together this wonderful program at such a great venue. I look forward to the conference, and the opportunity to work with many of you to build the Legacy of IYCr. </p> <p><em>Marvin L. Hackert</em></p> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="tabbertab" title="Welcome from TWAS"> <div id="karachi_appeal"> <div id="content_div_111444"> <h1>Welcome message from the Director of TWAS</h1> <p>On behalf of TWAS, The World Academy of Sciences, it is my pleasure to welcome all participants in the "Crystallography for the next generation: the legacy of IYCr" conference, and to be with you through this letter. Because of other commitments, I regret that I cannot be there with you in person.</p> <p>The International Year of Crystallography has made great achievements: It has raised awareness about a fundamental discipline which is scarcely known to the public, rarely a government priority, and too often forgotten by school and academic curricula. It has provided high-quality educational opportunities to students from the developing countries through the OpenLab initiative. And it has stimulated international cooperation in science through three excellent summit meetings in South-East Asia, Latin America and Africa.</p> <p>With the belief that developing nations, by building strength in science and engineering, can build the knowledge and skill to address such challenges as hunger, disease and poverty, TWAS shares the same objectives as those pursued by the IUCr and UNESCO during IYCr2014. Therefore, TWAS is looking forward to the "legacy" of IYCr2014 and to being partner of the crystallographic community on this initiative.</p> <p>In 2013, I met with IUCr officials Claude Lecomte, Luc Van Meervelt and Michele Zema, together with Jean Paul Ngome from UNESCO, in the preparation of activities for IYCr2014. In that meeting, we agreed that crystallography should be a prime field for focus and investment by policymakers and educators in developing nations.</p> <p>TWAS and its partners offer nearly 500 fellowships per year to scientists in the developing world who want to pursue PhDs and post-doctoral research. TWAS prizes and awards are among the most prestigious given for scientific work in the developing world. The Academy distributes more than USD1.5 million in research grants every year to individual scientists and research groups. It supports visiting scientists and provides funding for regional and international science meetings. I am hopeful that more young crystallographers will take advantage of these opportunities.</p> <p>Therefore I offer my congratulations on the achievements reached so far and wish every success to this conference and to the future activities connected with the IYCr legacy initiative.</p> <p><em>Romain Murenzi</em></p> <p><a href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/112030/TWAS-Welcome-message.pdf" target="_blank">Download the letter in PDF format</a></p> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="tabbertab" title="Welcome from UNESCO"> <div id="campinas_appeal"> <div id="content_div_111448"> <h1>Welcome message from the Director of the Division of Science Policy and Capacity Building of UNESCO</h1> <p>2014 celebrated the International Year of Crystallography (IYCr2014). The year's objectives were to render crystallography accessible to everyone, and to raise awareness about the innovations achieved through crystallography and the way these applications permeate our daily lives.</p> <p>Crystallography is indispensable for nurturing the scientific innovation that all countries need for their sustainable development and to build greener societies and economies. During the IYCr2014 and beyond, UNESCO and the International Union of Crystallography join forces to shine a spotlight on crystallography and to provide an opportunity for knowledge-sharing in the various areas of crystallography, particularly for countries lacking expertise in this field. In this regard, a number of open laboratories in crystallography were organized throughout the year in developing countries in order to show how crystallography works.</p> <p>The message of the IYCr2014 is clear: the basic sciences, especially crystallography, are not beyond the reach of any country; crystallography brings together all scientific disciplines, making it the perfect driver to promote quality science education and to train the scientists of tomorrow. Through the International Year of Crystallography and the follow-up initiatives, the International Basic Sciences Programme (IBSP) is harnessing the considerable socio-economic benefits that crystallography can bring to the citizens of the world.</p> <p>Let the efforts that were made in 2014 continue to bear fruit. Let us continue to work on the goals of the IYCr2014, which may truly be manifested in the future of the basic sciences around the world. I wish you all a fruitful "Crystallography for the next generation: the legacy of IYCr" Conference.</p> <p><em>Maciej Nalecz</em></p> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="tabbertab" title="Welcome from ICSU"> <div id="bloemfontein_appeal"> <div id="content_div_111452"> <h1>Welcome message from the Director of ICSU ROA</h1> <p>The International Council for Science (ICSU) Regional Office for Africa (ICSU ROA) is mandated to promote, facilitate and coordinate activities of the ICSU family in Africa, thus fulfilling ICSU's mission of strengthening international science for the benefit of society on the continent. Since its inauguration in September 2005, ICSU ROA has been engaged in activities designed to showcase ICSU's work in strengthening partnerships in international research collaboration, science for policy and advocating the universality of science. The Office aims to promote the development and strengthening of science in the context of regional priorities, and endeavours to bring international scientific activities and programmes, especially those of the ICSU family, closer to the African scientists through collaborative ventures.</p> <p>ICSU ROA supports the activities and planned programmes of International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) on the continent as IUCr is one of the active ICSU International Scientific Unions in Africa. The implementation of these activities is trans-disciplinary in nature; it is also designed to cut through national and continental boundaries, while taking into account the need to foster the enhancement of science in Africa by establishing and formalising an African Crystallography Association (AfCA) - a structure that will be a fully recognized affiliate of IUCr. ICSU ROA has supported a number of IUCr programmes in the region and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. The involvement of ICSU ROA in future activities of IUCr will include providing organisational support prior, during and after IUCr related events in the region; supporting the establishment of AfCA; as well as facilitating the interactions of regional and international crystallography communities (including those of AfCA) with other scientists, relevant networks and stakeholders in Africa through sharing of information. The Regional Office will be happy to be a partner in IUCr initiatives where it will play a pivotal role of providing guidance in identifying action agenda items as well as relevant experts and scientists from different corners of the region. As part of its commitment to promote smooth implementation of IUCr activities/programmes on the continent, the Office will avail its staff for any service that may be required, within its resource and capacity limits. ICSU ROA is prepared to support and endorse (to potential funders) proposals submitted by IUCr as well as direct the crystallography community to potential sources for funding for its programmes. The Office will also readily share information about the regional activities where IUCr can contribute, in order to maximise the scientific impact of these on the continent. ICSU ROA is honoured to take part during this "IYCr legacy" conference. The past year's activities went a long way to promote the discipline of crystallography. The Office looks forward to a fruitful collaboration with IUCr for the implementation of future scientific activities on the continent, and to the further expansion of the discipline to have a footprint on the majority of countries on the continent.</p> <p>Congratulations on what has been achieved so far.</p> <p><em>Edith Madela-Mntla</em></p> <p><a href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/112031/ICSU-ROA-Welcome-message.pdf" target="_blank">Download the letter in PDF format</a><em> </em></p> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  </div> <div class="tabbertab" title="Committees"> <div id="committee"> <h2>Co-chairs of the conference</h2> <table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="6" border="0" style="width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0005/104936/thalal_zoom.jpg" height="150" alt="thalal" style="border: 0px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /><br /></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0003/104934/mz.jpg" height="150" alt="tie_green" style="border: 0px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /><br /></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0004/104935/Lecomte_460.jpg" height="150" alt="Lecomte_460" style="border: 0px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /><br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:33%;"> <center> <small><strong>Abdelmalek Thalal</strong><br /> President of the Moroccan Crystallographic Association<br /> Cadi Ayyad University, Faculty of Sciences<br /> Semlalia, Marrakech - Morocco</small> </center> </td> <td style="width:33%;"> <center> <strong><small>Michele Zema</small></strong><small><br /> Project Manager for IYCr2014<br /> International Union of Crystallography, Chester, UK<br /> and University of Pavia, Italy</small> </center> </td> <td style="width:33%;"> <center> <strong><small>Claude Lecomte</small></strong><small><br /> CNRS and Jean Barriol Institute<br /> Université de Lorraine<br /> Nancy, France</small> </center> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h2>Local Organizing Committee</h2> <p>Abdelmalek Thalal (<em>Chair</em>), <em>University Cadi Ayyad - Marrakech<br /></em>Abderrazzak Assani, <em>University Mohammed V – Rabat<br /></em>Moha Berraho, <em>University Cadi Ayyad – Marrakech<br /></em>Abdellah Boukhris, <em>University Ibnou Zohr – Agadir<br /></em>Lahcen El Ammari, <em>University Mohammed V – Rabat<br /></em>Mohamed El Azhari, <em>University Cadi Ayyad – Marrakech<br /></em>El Mokhtar Essassi, <em>University Mohammed V – Rabat<br /></em>Abdeslam Hoummada, <em>Academy Hassan II of Sciences and Technology - Rabat<br /></em>Amane Oueriagli, <em>University Cadi Ayyad - Marrakech<br /></em>Salah Eddine Qebbaj, <em>University Mohammed Premier - Oujda<br /></em>Mohamed Saadi, <em>University Mohammed V - Rabat<br /></em>Driss Zakaria, <em>University Chouaïb Doukkali – El Jadida</em></p> </div> </div> <div class="tabbertab" title="Speakers"> <div id="speakers"> <h2>Confirmed speakers and panelists</h2> <h3>Session on Symmetry</h3> <p><strong>Ted Janssen</strong>, U.
