Join Us in Calgary for the 27th IUCr Congress & General Assembly

IUCr2026 will bring together the global crystallographic community for a dynamic, in-person gathering in Calgary, Canada, from August 11–18, 2026.

The Congress will feature a robust scientific program including 140 microsymposia, keynote lectures, workshops, and poster sessions, showcasing the latest advances across structural science. With contributions from researchers around the world, the program reflects the breadth and impact of crystallography—from fundamental discoveries to applied and interdisciplinary innovation.

Beyond the scientific sessions, IUCr2026 offers valuable opportunities to connect, collaborate, and engage with colleagues at all career stages. Whether you are presenting your work, exploring new research areas, or building professional relationships, the Congress is designed to foster meaningful exchange across the community.
