BCA Spring Meeting 2010

The 2010 Spring Meeting will be held at the University of Warwick between 12^th and 15^th April 2010 and the theme is "Data Matters". Registration is now open online.

The broad ranging theme encompasses every aspect of crystallographic study, whilst promoting an interdisciplinary feel for the conference.

As usual there will be a Young Crystallographers Meeting (Monday 12^th April and Tuesday morning) and there will be a Pair Distribution Function workshop at the end of the conference. Throughout the meeting there will be a Software Fayre for demonstrations and problem solving sessions.

Programme information - timetable, session titles, prize lecturers (two knighted, FRS are amongst the recipients this year!) and satellite meetings - can be found on the Programme page.

As with last year, sessions in the meeting will comprise two invited speakers and one selected from contributed abstracts. We encourage you to look at the Programme to identify sessions of interest that you wish to contribute to. We invite abstract submissions for oral presentations for the extended deadline of 19^th October 2009. Posters are also an important part of the meeting and we encourage you to submit abstracts for these by 5^th February 2010. 

The Programme Chair for the meeting is Dr Simon Coles (contact Simon with questions or comments) and the full Programme Committee members are Elspeth Garman (President); Sandy Blake (Vice President); Harry Powell (Treasurer); David Massey (Northern Networking); Vilmos Fulop & Neil Isaacs (BSG); Ross Harrington & Hazel Sparkes (CCG); Martin Gill & Matthew Johnson (IG); Matt Tucker, Sarah Lister & Andrew Wills (PCG); Graham Findlay & Helena Shepherd (YCG) and Arwen Pearson (2011 Programme Chair).
