IUCr2026 – 27th Congress and General Assembly
Join Us at IUCr2026 for Workshops, Talks, and the chance to meet the Community Shaping the Future of Crystallography
11–18 August, Calgary (CA)
The IUCr Congress is the leading global event for crystallographers, held every three years and organised by the International Union of Crystallography. Its goal is to advance the field, support collaboration, and promote high‑quality research.
In 2026, the Congress will take place in Calgary, co‑hosted by the CNCC, USNC/Cr, and the ACA. We’re excited to take part by delivering workshops, presentations, and being available for a chat at our booth.
What makes IUCr2026 special is the global community shaping the programme, highlighting cutting‑edge science and the collaborative spirit of crystallography. We can’t wait to meet you there.
