| Event Name | Belgian Crystal Growing Competition |
| Start Date | 25th Feb 2013 |
| End Date | 29th Mar 2013 |
| Duration | 33 days |
| Description |
During a period of 4 weeks children from secondary schools have to grow single crystals, this year of alum. The competition is organized by the Belgian National Committee for Crystallography and sponsored by the Royal Academy and Acros Organics. The prize awarding ceremony will take place on 8 May 2013 at the Academy Palace in Brussels where Dr Vande Putte will deliver a lecture on sugar and sugar crystallization. |

| Event Name | La biocristallographie : un outil incontournable pour de nouveaux médicaments |
| Start Date | 15th Mar 2013 12:30pm |
| End Date | 15th Mar 2013 1:30pm |
| Duration | 1 hour |
| Description | La biocristallographie permet de comprendre le vivant à l’échelle de l’atome. C’est une technique expérimentale qui utilise les propriétés de diffraction des rayons-X interagissant avec un cristal biologique pour extraire la structure atomique de la macromolécule étudiée. Tout en révélant les bases structurales des propriétés biologiques des macromolécules, la biocristallographie nous livre des possibilités de développer des médicaments toujours plus performants. |
