| Event Name | ACA Summer Course in Chemical Crystallography |
| Start Date | 7th Jul 2014 |
| End Date | 16th Jul 2014 |
| Duration | 10 days |
| Description | The ACA Summer Course in Chemical Crystallography is a program that is now into its third decade of instruction here in the United States. The current incarnation of the course is directed towards Single-Crystal Chemical Crystallography and Powder Diffraction techniques, as applicable to small molecule studies. The course is designed to instruct attendees in the theory and practice of these two aspects of crystallography. The course is held every summer, in even years at The University of Notre Dame, and in odd years at Northwestern University. No prior knowledge of crystallography is expected from attendees. However, a good understanding of undergraduate level chemistry, physics and mathematics is desirable. While the course is geared towards graduate level attendees, applications from strong undergraduate students will be considered. Past course attendees have included faculty members and industrial researchers. |

| 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. |

| End Date | 15th Jul 2014 5:00pm |
| Duration | 2 days and 1 hour |
| Description | The 2014 Annual Conference of the BACG will be hosted by the University of Leeds, which is the home of the pioneering work underpinning the discipline of X-ray crystallography undertaken by William Henry Bragg and his son, William Lawrence Bragg in 1912-13, and for which they were jointly awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915. This conference will provide a forum for the exchange of scientific/technological ideas and findings amongst researchers from the UK and overseas focusing on the following topics. Internationally renowned researchers, both from academia and industry, will deliver a series of stimulating lectures. Conference topics:
Invited Speakers:
Conference Committee: Tariq Mahmud & Yi-Yeoun Kim (Co-Chairs, Leeds U), Robert B. Hammon(Leeds U), Mingzhong Li (De Montfort U), Fiona Meldrum (Leeds U), Kevin J. Roberts (Leeds U), Ghazala Sadiq (CCDC), Linda Seton (Liverpool John Moores U) |

| 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 |
