💎 What do crystals, archaeology, art & the human mind have in common? Join renowned crystallographer Prof. Juan Manuel García-Ruiz to explore: Why do we like crystals? 🎟 FREE | Space limited 📍 Bow Valley College, TransAlta Hall, 345 6 Avenue SE 📅 TODAY | 6–8 PM #IUCR2026

We have our winners! 🏆💎 Congratulations to the first two crystallographers who cracked tonight’s Secret Exhibitor clue and made it back to the Registration Desk! And now that the secret is out… be sure to visit Rigaku, IRELEC, and Proto in the Exhibit Hall! 🔬✨

🌍💎 #IUCr2026 is making headlines! Congrats to Professor Gautam R. Desiraju, whose #EwaldPrize and pioneering work in crystal engineering are featured in India Today. A proud moment for #crystallography, #IUCr and and for our Congress here in #Calgary!

IIT Mandi professor Gautam R Desiraju wins Ewald Prize for crystal science

Professor Emeritus Gautam R Desiraju has received the 14th Ewald Prize from the International Union of Crystallography for his work in crystal engineering and the supramolecular synthon concept. The award recognises research that shifted crystallography towards predictive design, with applications from pharmaceutical cocrystals to structure prediction.
