Stuttgart 2016

Microsymposium „Lightning talks of young crystallographers“
and Get-Together of the „Young Crystallographers“
at the 24th Annual Conference of the German Crystallographic Society

Chairs: Julia Dshemuchadse (Ann Arbor, MI, US), Oliver Pecher (Cambridge, UK)

Monday March 14th – Thursday 17th 2016
@ Universität Stuttgart

17 abstracts of young scientists were selected for 5-minute presentations during a lightning talk session and a subsequent poster session.
STOE sponsored three prizes that were awarded by a committee of three experienced scientists to:

Manuela Gorgel, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Sandrina Meis, Ruhr-Universität Bochum
Gregor Hofer, ETH Zürich

The winning posters:
