The Experimental Methods Working Group provides a platform for all DGK members and interested parties involved in the use, development and operation of equipment and experimental methods for crystallographic analysis under normal and extreme conditions. This ranges from instruments in domestic laboratories to those in large-scale research facilities and encompasses all methods in the fields of spectroscopy, diffraction, scattering and imaging techniques, in which materials are investigated under static, in situ or operando conditions, for example:

The working group focuses on networking among members from various fields and supporting their interests and activities. At the DGK annual conferences, the working group assists in organising micro-symposia on the relevant topics. The annual working group meeting also takes place there. The workshops and courses offered by this working group cover specific subject areas or are organised across different methods. Furthermore, the working group is happy to support DGK members in planning and running their own workshops.
Information and news from the working group are distributed via a shared mailing list. Anyone interested in being added to the mailing list is asked to contact the working group spokesperson or their deputy.
