DACG

On 25 May the Dutch Association for Crystal Growth organizes its spring symposium, hosted by AMOLF in Amsterdam. This is our first ‘live’ event after 2 years of online symposia. Next to a broad range of crystallization- and nucleation-related topics, also the award ceremony of the KNCV Piet Bennema Crystal Growth Award 2021 is scheduled.

The meeting will be held at AMOLF, Science Park 104, 1098 XG Amsterdam.
