IUCrHP2013

International Workshop on ' ADVANCES IN STATIC AND DYNAMIC HIGH-PRESSURE CRYSTALLOGRAPHY'

DESY, Hamburg Germany, 8th-11th September 2013

The workshop is organized by the Commission on High Pressure of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) with the support of DESY, Hamburg, Germany. The local organizing group is headed by Dr. H. P. Liermann (DESY).

This workshop is a continuation of The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) Commission on High Pressure workshop series first established in 1996 followed by workshops at the ESRF (1997), APS ('98), SPring-8 ('00), in Orsay ('01), Berkeley ('03), Saskatoon ('04), Dubna ('06), Oxford ('07), Harbin ('09), Gatlinburg ('10) and most recently in Mito (2012). This year the workshop will be held at DESY in Hamburg.

SCOPE: This conference will cover the whole range of activities of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) Commission on High Pressure.

The tentative list of main topics includes:

1. Crystallographic controls on rheology and elasticity (Chairs: Simon Redfern and Nori Nishiyama)
2. Polymorphism and crystal chemistry (Chairs: Kamil Dziubek and Przemyslaw Dera)
3. Computational approaches (Chairs: Nangini Garg and Rajeev Ahuja)
4. Amorphous, liquid, non-crystalline and crypto-crystalline solids (Chairs: Andrew Goodwin and Vadim Brazhkin)
5. Materials Science (Chairs: Wilson Crichton and Vladimir Turkevich)
6. Chemistry (Chairs: Vladimir Solozhenko and Alexandr Talyzin)
7. Studies of Organic and Biological Systems (Chairs: Andrzej Katrusiak and Elena Boldyreva)
8. New Frontiers in Extreme Conditions Crystallography (Chairs: H.-P. Liermann and Ingo Loa)
9. Rising Stars (Chairs: Yoshinori Katayama and Francesca Fabbiani)
10. Electronic and magnetic phenomena (Chairs: B. Winkler and K. Kamenev)

Contributions in all areas within or closely related to the broad area of high-pressure crystallography will be welcome.

Financial support will be available to encourage young scientists (particular students) to attend the meeting.
