18th European Powder Diffraction Conference (EPDIC18)

The 18th European Powder Diffraction Conference (EPDIC18) will be held at the new Padova Congress Center in Padova – Italy, from August 30th to September 2nd, 2024.

Padova, renowned for its captivating allure, stands as one of Italy’s most charming towns and boasts a vibrant University, among the oldest in Europe. A visit to Padova promises an immersive experience in arts, history, and culture! Furthermore, its strategic central location facilitates easy access to Venice, Verona, the Garda Lake, the Dolomites, and the Adriatic Seaside.

The EPDIC Conference is the biennial meeting dedicated to all aspects of the analysis of polycrystalline materials by diffraction methods. It brings together experts from universities, research institutes and instrumentation companies to share their knowledge and discuss the current trends and challenges in powder diffraction. The strong interdisciplinarity of the technique, combined with the fact that in 2024 the congress will be preceded in the same location by ECM34 (26 – 30 August, https://www.ecm34.org/), whose community overlaps, at least partially, with that of EPDIC18, offers the unique opportunity to connect with all those who utilize crystallography in one centralized venue.

In agreement with the traditional character of this Conference, EPDIC18 will yield an exciting scientific program that will cover a broad range of hot traditional and new topics interesting to the powder community, through scientific presentations, workshops and events, as well as an extensive industrial exhibition.

The event will feature 2 Awards, 6 plenary lectures, and 12 micro-symposia, each hosting invited talks and presentations from delegates.
