Ask not what crystallography can do for you – ask what you can do for crystallography

Promoting and spreading crystallography at all levels of education: that is the aim of GIG3 – The General Interest Group on Education in crystallography - launched at the ECM in Basel in September 2016. The main objectives of GIG3 are the creation of a network for the efficient coordination of common activities and of new projects, and ultimately increasing the awareness of the general public about the existence, utility and versatility of crystallography as a field of study and application. In this session some of the past and ongoing activities of the Group will be outlined and, more importantly, ideas and suggestions will be discussed on how to transform the Group’s tasks into concrete initiatives.
