European Powder Diffraction Conference (EPDIC 12)

摘要

Most people, thinking back to the 12th edition of the European Powder Diffraction Conference (EPDIC 12), will be proud to say "I was there!" This biennial meeting, a major event in the powder diffraction field in Europe, was held this time in the Darmstadium Conference Center in Darmstadt, Germany, August 27 to 30, 2010. Lead by Professor Hartmut Fuess and by Professor Paolo Scardi (Chairman of the EPDIC Committee), the conference was co-organized for the first time with the European Crys-tallographic Meeting (ECM-26). Professor Fuess was very successful in coordinating the two relevant communities whose meetings usually run on close but parallel rails. The international EPDIC participants numbered more than 450, and one third of them attended both events.
