PCG-SCMP Winter Meeting "Applied Physical Crystallography"

Our 2011 Winter Meeting at Cosener’s House will be held in Abingdon on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th November. The meeting will again be held jointly with the ISIS Crystallography User Group meeting. There will be a poster session and the opportunity for a small number of junior researchers to give short oral presentations.
