ABOUT US...

We are a group of undergraduate, graduate, phd students and post-docs working in the field of structural biology, structural chemistry, materials and others

Our main goals are:

• Create an extended network of young researchers working on the fields of interest

• Promote activities at scientific and social level.

• Exchange ideas, related to the special interests of young crystallographers, structural biologists and researchers in relevant scientific fields in general.

• Develop collaborations and facilitate the first steps of young researchers in their research career.

• Organizing a biennial meeting entitled “Meeting of HeCrA's Young Researchers”, under the supervision of HeCrA.

Feel free to give us your feedback and ideas

Young researchers (post-doctoral, PhD students, postgraduate and undergraduate students) are invited to exchange views in the fields of structural biology, structural chemistry and materials.

The speakers should emphasize on the methodology, the difficulties as well as troubleshooting steps they followed during their research project. Educational/tutorial (e.g. new approaches to techniques and methodologies) talks are also welcome. Oral presentations can be submitted.
