International Program Committee
The International Program Committee (IPC) for the IUCr Congress plays a pivotal role in shaping the scientific and organizational framework of the event. Comprised of leading experts and representatives from various fields of crystallography, the IPC collaborates to curate a comprehensive and diverse program that reflects the latest advancements and emerging trends in the discipline. The committee is responsible for selecting keynote speakers, organizing thematic sessions, and coordinating workshops and satellite meetings. Additionally, the IPC works to foster inclusivity and global representation, ensuring the congress provides a platform for scientists from all regions to share their research and insights. Through its meticulous planning and strategic vision, the IPC ensures the IUCr Congress remains a premier gathering for the crystallographic community worldwide.
