Cari soci,

“The IUCr-UNESCO Bruker OpenLab Albania, held at Tirana (Albania) May 30 – June 3, 2017, represented a fundamental step in the process for the establishment of the Association of Albanian Crystallographers (AAC , http://www.aac-cryst.eu), which has now formally been founded and includes crystallographers from both Albania and Kosovo. The OpenLab followed the success of events organized in Albania during IYCr2014, namely the International Conference “New Frontiers of Nanomaterial Technologies for Applications in Biology and Medicine” and the 1st Workshop on Crystallography, held in conjunction with the 20th Congress of the Carpathian-Balkan Geological Association. At that time, the local community of crystallographers, with Dritan Siliqi (IC-CNR, Italy and member of AIC) and Michele Zema (IUCr and member of AIC) as facilitators, formed the OPAL (Organization for the Promotion of Crystallography in Albania) working group, which was then extended thanks to the participation of crystallographers from Kosovo, and finally converged into the AAC. The AAC is now a national member of the ECA and has applied for membership of the IUCr. Actually AAC is headed by Dritan Siliqi. The AAC give thanks to AIC (present and former presidents), IUCr (Michele Zema) , ECA (Alessia Bacchi) and specially IC-CNR, Bari (Michele Saviano) for the help for all the activities held in Albania during the past years “
