Structural Science Awakens: 71st Annual Meeting of the American Crystallographic Association

July 30, 2021 - August 5, 2021 | #acamtg2021 | #vACAmtg2021 

Scientists with specialties in biology, chemistry, geosciences, materials science and more converged virtually for the 71st Annual Meeting of the ACA. The theme for the 2021 meeting was “Structural Science Awakens,” which celebrates the ACA’s new tagline “The Structural Science Society.” Scientific sessions and workshops highlighted new developments in single-crystal and powder diffraction, scattering, cryo-EM, micro-electron diffraction, and advanced capabilities at national x-ray, neutron, and EM facilities.  

Meeting Statistics

The ACA recognizes the positive impact that a conference speaking opportunity has on an individual's track record and visibility. We also recognize that some sections of the scientific community are often under-represented in conference programs, and that this can affect diversity in the long-term. Our policies were developed to ensure quality and equality.  Find out more...
