At the CCDC we’ve been investigating ways to bring chemistry to life by printing 3D models from crystal structure coordinates. These hand-held molecules make engaging with science and research more fun. They’re useful in the classroom as teaching aids and they also make excellent gifts! So, today we are pleased to announce our 2^nd Annual #CSD3DPrint Twitter Contest.

The CCDC is very pleased to have been able to once again support the International School of Crystallography based in Erice, Sicily. This annual school draws together crystallographic experts from around the world, as well as a large collection of international graduate and post-graduate students, to learn about specific areas of crystallography. The 2016 edition of the school was entitled “High-pressure crystallography: status artis and emerging opportunities”. It was co-directed by Francesca Fabbiani (University of Göttingen), John Parise (Stony Brook University) and Malcolm Guthrie (European Spallation Source, Lund). It brought together an excellent selection of the leading scientists in the field alongside exciting emerging researchers to provide the attendees with a superb overview of the field. Focal areas were pharmaceuticals, geology, methodology, and first principles of high pressure crystallography.
