International Union of Crystallography (IUCr)

The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) is a global organization that promotes the study of crystallography, the science of understanding the arrangement of atoms in crystalline materials. It brings together scientists and researchers from various fields, such as chemistry, physics, and biology, to share knowledge, organize conferences, and publish research. The IUCr also helps develop standards and provide resources, aiming to advance the understanding of crystals and their importance in materials science and drug development, among other areas. Its work fosters collaboration and innovation in both academic and industrial settings.
