✨ Keeping the birthday spirit alive ✨

Nach 60 Jahren CSD + 40 Jahren ICSD (100 Jahre zusammen) feiern wir nun mit unseren Partnern von JAICI deren 50-jΓ€hriges Bestehen πŸŽ‰.
Das ergibt beeindruckende 150 Jahre gemeinsames Engagement für die Strukturwissenschaften 🌍.
Seit 1988 bringt JAICI die ICSD erfolgreich nach Japan. Gemeinsam mit CCDC und JAICI stΓ€rken wir die globale Forschung.

Double Anniversary in Crystallography πŸŽ‰

At the 35th European Crystallographic Meeting (ECM 2025) in Poland, we celebrated two milestones:

40 years of ICSD (FIZ Karlsruhe)

60 years of CSD (CCDC)

Around 60 guests joined our reception – a real who’s who of crystallography.
Highlights included inspiring talks, and the introduction of Suzanna Ward as the new Executive Director of CCDC by Prof. Susan Bourne, President of the CCDC Board of Trustees.

The outcomes of this workshop will directly shape the next phase of development, guiding the creation of a scientifically rigorous and user-focused search tool and Magres database (version 2), while also strengthening collaboration between CCP-NC, CCDC, and PSDI.

Thank you all who played today at @wrccdc Invitationals. It was a blast spending part of my weekend with you. I hope to see most of you back for our second round of invitationals. #CCDC #wrccdc #blueteam

The 34th European Crystallographic Meeting starts today in Padua, Italy. Of course, our colleagues from #ICSD are there with a booth and will all be available to answer questions about licence forms, prices and use of the database.

We wish everyone an exciting conference and are already looking forward to the insights and ideas that our colleagues will bring back from Padua!

I've made mistakes during competitions. Here's what I learned.

Turns out not being in school for a month makes you think about your life decisions a lot more
