MicroED SIG Chat: Building Successful MicroED Programs

Join the ACA MicroED Special Interest Group for an interactive discussion on the practical challenges and opportunities of implementing and using MicroED (Microcrystal Electron Diffraction). As interest in MicroED continues to grow, researchers and facilities alike are exploring what it takes to establish successful programs and support new users. This session will bring together experienced practitioners to share insights on workflows, training, facility development, sample preparation, common pitfalls, and future needs in the field. Whether you are new to MicroED or looking to expand an existing capability, we invite you to join the conversation.

Join Us in Calgary for the 27th IUCr Congress & General Assembly

IUCr2026 will bring together the global crystallographic community for a dynamic, in-person gathering in Calgary, Canada, from August 11–18, 2026.

The Congress will feature a robust scientific program including 140 microsymposia, keynote lectures, workshops, and poster sessions, showcasing the latest advances across structural science. With contributions from researchers around the world, the program reflects the breadth and impact of crystallography—from fundamental discoveries to applied and interdisciplinary innovation.

Beyond the scientific sessions, IUCr2026 offers valuable opportunities to connect, collaborate, and engage with colleagues at all career stages. Whether you are presenting your work, exploring new research areas, or building professional relationships, the Congress is designed to foster meaningful exchange across the community.
