| Event Name | 4th Turkish National Crystallographic Meeting |
| Start Date | 16th May 2014 |
| End Date | 19th May 2014 |
| Duration | 4 days |
| Description |
The 4th National Congress of Crystallography (TUCr2014) and “Residual Stress Analysis by X-Ray Diffraction and Texture” workshop hosted by Dicle University in Diyarbakir will be carried out on 16 to 19 May 2014.
As you know, 2014 has been declared as the International Year of Crystallography by the UN (United Nations). Centenary of the birth of modern crystallography will be celebrated all over the world with symposiums, meetings, workshops and exhibitions held throughout the year. In this context, TUCr2014 is of particular importance for us and it has been listed in IYCr2014’s official page of events to be held in the world.
We invite all researchers and scientists who study in different fields including physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacology, materials, archeology and mineralogy and use X-ray techniques in their studies to attend and contribute our meeting. We hope TUCr2014 meeting will be a platform to increase recognition of crystallography in the public sphere, lead to national and international collaboration opportunities among participants and encourage young researchers working in this area.
It is also planned to realize a workshop titled as "Residual Stress and Texture Analysis by X-ray Diffraction” for graduate and doctoral students during the meeting. In this workshop courses and practical issues will be discussed. Students who will participate in the workshop and the meeting will be able to get support through TUBITAK.
We expect your attention and contribution to our meeting

| Event Name | 5th Meeting X-ray and other techniques in investigations of the objects of cultural heritage |
| Start Date | 14th May 2014 |
| End Date | 17th May 2014 |
| Duration | 4 days |
| Description | The preservation and conservation of our cultural heritage is a significant contemporary worldwide concern. Advanced scientific methods and techniques are essential for the identification of materials present in historic objects of cultural heritage and processes occurring therein. These methods can also help to give a deeper understanding of the technology and craftsmanship of old masters. Modern analytic methods are important in studies of authenticity and can be applied as diagnostic techniques in practical conservation. The first session of the conference entitled “Role of crystallography in science, art and everyday life” was opened for general public and was preceded by presentation of the Plus Ratio Quam Vis Medal to Professor Henk Schenk, past President of the International Union of Crystallography. The conference was attended by over 90 participants. A photo gallery of the event is available at http://www.chemia.uj.edu.pl/nauka-i-badania/konferencje/x-ray/gallery |

| Description | Many initiatives have been and are being organized to involve schoolchildren at Mudaliarpet, Pondicherry (India) into crystallography on the occasion of IYCr2014. 1. At first, the students were given a brief introduction on various crystals, which made them think about how crystals are formed. 2. Following this, a team of students were selected for a project on Crystal Growth - investigating the size, shape and number of crystals formed, taking various substances such as table salt, sugar, epsom salt, borax, potassium nitrate and alum. 3. A Radio Talk was given by the teacher and the students on the "International Year of Crystallography". 4. A lecture was given on the topic to the school students, following which a demonstration -cum- exhibition, along with a poster presentation by the teacher is to be arranged for view for the public around the school locale. 5. A next attempt to telecast the above in the television is made. 6. Students of our school are participating in the IYCr2014 Crystal Growing Competition. |

| Description | A small display of minerals at the Diss Museum (Norfolk, England), specially chosen to link with the International Year of Crystallography.
In addition there are minerals exhibiting special features including pyrite, sphalerite, magnetite, fluorspar, gypsum and rhodochrosite, some of which come from the famous 'Trepča' lead/zinc mine near Kosovo Mitrovica in Kosovo. Opening times (19th March to 25th October): |
Minerals have been selected that exhibit their crystalline form to illustrate some basic laws: the work of Nicolas Steno and the law of the constancy of facial angles (using quartz) and Réne Haüy's geometrical law of crystallization (using calcite and galena).| Location | Diss, Norfolk United Kingdom |

| Event Name | Nobel Structures: Celebrating Crystallography |
| Start Date | 15th Mar 2014 |
| End Date | 18th May 2014 |
| Duration | 64 days and 23 hours |
| Description | The United Nations have declared 2014 the International Year of Crystallography. Few people know how important this subject is, even though it has led to 29 Nobel Prizes. ‘Nobel Structures: Celebrating Crystallography’ aims to raise awareness about this fascinating field, allowing us to see how molecules fit together, from diamonds to DNA. The exhibition will investigate the achievements of som...e of the most important scientists of the twentieth century and their work with X-rays. Their ground-breaking discoveries unravelled the structures of DNA, penicillin and insulin, to name but a few... But crystallography goes beyond the boundaries of science, inspiring artists and designers. Come and explore its many facets and forms at the St Andrews Museum, Kinburn Park, Doubledykes Road. |

| Event Name | Novosibirsk Science Festival EUREKA!FEST |
| Start Date | 15th May 2014 |
| End Date | 18th May 2014 |
| Duration | 4 days |
| Description | "Science is all around us!"
The key aim of the festival is to show the contents of modern science and the importance of the technological development in a very accessible manner. We would also like to highlight the impact of scientific advances on the main humanitarian trends and the formation of brand new professions. The festival was initiated by Novosibirsk State University and Akademgorodok Foundation. General partner of the festival is Dynasty Foundation. "Discovery phenomenon" was chosen as the main theme for this year. Thus we intend to substantiate the significance of scientific discoveries as well as the discoveries which we make every day whilst adapting to the fast changes of our surrounding world. It is also worth to focus the attention of the young audience on the attractiveness of science, as a way of doing and thinking, in order to generate interest to their future work in scientific field. Sciences of the year: crystallography, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering sciences, cosmology, astrophysics, paleontology, educational psychology, hybrid pedagogic. The comprehensive festival program includes more than 15 public lectures, seminars and panel discussions in the science café as well as in the University campus; science slam, which involves a "scientific battle" between young scientists; a training-conference on education and the professions of the future “Beyong the classroom”. Finally the most substantial program slot will be the outdoor event in a science picnic manner - "Archimedes Town" - which covers “fair of scientific discoveries” (20-25 tent-labs present their scientific researches), scientific auditorium for short speeches from selected experts, also experimental polygons for physics, chemistry and biology, mobile planetarium, exhibition area, scientific cinema etc. The festival is created for people of all ages who are interested in science or those who are just curious and never been involved in any of the scientific disciplines.
