Crystal36-AXAA 2026 Conference Themes

This is the first combined meeting of the Society of Crystallographers in Australia and New Zealand (SCANZ) and the Australian X-ray Analytical Association (AXAA).  The conference aims to represent the diversity of topics covered in the individual society meetings but to highlight the unified approach we have tried to blend those topics into broad themes.  Please select a broad theme to contribute to and the organisers will use this information and your abstract keywords to organise an integrated and collaborative joint program.
