WELCOME to Crystal 35

It is our deep pleasure to announce the 35th Biennial Conference of the Society of Crystallographers in Australia and New Zealand (Crystal35) will be held from 27 - 29th October 2024 in Fremantle, Western Australia.

Crystal 35 will have a range of high-quality national and international experts from the field in attendance. The Committee is already working to put together a first-rate program including the latest advances and developments in the field of Crystallography. Speakers have already been confirmed from Japan, Singapore and South Africa. They will be speaking on topics like: integrative macromolecular structure determination, chemical and materials crystallography, electron diffraction and computational studies.

Fremantle (Walyalup) is a truly charming destination full of narrow streets lined with heritage buildings. Delegates can visit the charming docks, explore the unconventional breweries and experience the quirky buskers. Maybe come a day or two early and hop on a ferry to Rottnest Island, go whale-watching or visit the Perth Hills to see the amazing wildflowers. With the well-renowned Margaret River wine reason only a 3-hour drive away, it’s well worth the visit and worth extending your trip.

We know the visit to Fremantle will be memorable to everyone who makes the trip.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Bond

President, SCANZ and Convenor, Crystal35
