Over 600 crystallographers from 46 countries including 114 students and 65 exhibitors attended the 2012 European Crystallography Meeting in re-markably picturesque Bergen, Norway. Over the course of three and a half days 16 plenary lectures and 44 microsymposia covered the latest advances in all aspects of X-ray crystallography including instrumentation, methods, and ap-plications. Plenary lecturers included the most recent winner of the prestigious Aminoff Prize, Mark Spackman (see page 21) and for-mer Aminoff awardee, Michael Rossmann. Faced with the difficult choice of which of the six simultaneous sessions to attend each day this review covers only a small sample of the excellent science report-ed. Summaries of other sessions would be welcomed by the editors.
