16th Canadian Chemical Crystallography Workshop (CCCW25)

June 20 – 24, 2025 in Ottawa, ON, Canada

The program consists of short lectures and demonstrations throughout the workshop. Topics may include crystal growth, diffraction theory, symmetry and space groups, reciprocal space, integration of data, structure solution and model building, refinement, and analyses and presentation of the derived data. Participants will be solving and refining structures starting almost immediately. We will have several experienced crystallographers helping throughout. 

It will be impossible to go into great detail on so many topics in such a short time, so most concepts will be explained using models and examples. By the end of the workshop, most participants are able to solve and refine routine crystal structures, as well as some problem cases. Participants will also made connections with experienced crystallographers who will be able to continue answering questions after the workshop.
