Crystallography for the Next Generation
The International Year of Crystallography 2014 (IYCr2014) Legacy conference, held in Rabat, Morocco in April 2015 under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohamed VI, reviewed the accomplishments achieved during IYCr2014, with a forward-looking focus sustaining momentum and building on past success. The President of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), the Director of the Science Policy and Capacity Building Division of UNESCO, the President of the World Academy of Science, and the Director of the International Council for Science–—Regional Office for Africa signed a letter of commitment and invited IUPAC to endorse the actions and goals set out in the IYCr2014 Legacy Resolution.
The resolution embraces the need to enhance the stature of crystallography, build capacity in developing regions of the world, and extend the public understanding of science in general and crystallography in particular.
The full text of the IYCr2014 Legacy Resolution is available online and individual supporters are invited to endorse it, echoing that Crystallography matters ... more!
