DACG50 - 50th Anniversary of Dutch Association for Crystal Growth

20 March – 22 March 2023

The mission of the Dutch Association for Crystal Growth (DACG), in Dutch: “Nederlandse Vereniging voor Kristalgroei” (NVKG), is to contribute to knowledge of and insight into crystal growth, and to stimulate the contact between researchers and users of crystal growth.

For the Celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Dutch Association of Crystal Growth, we are pleased to organize this international symposium to provide ample opportunity for fruitful discussion and dialogues between experts from different fields of crystallization and to incite collaborations at the international level between the different disciplines on the area of nucleation and crystal growth and self-assembly. The 3-day symposium will feature invited talks by renown researchers from our neighbouring countries, contibuted talks, poster sessions and an industrial exhibition.  Some 130 participants are expected, with a maximum of 150.

Latest progresses in all topics related to crystal growth phenomena, theory and experiments covering both the fundamentals and the applications:

  • Fundamentals of Nucleation and growth
  • Micro and nanofluidic systems
  • Novel crystalline materials
  • Biominerals
  • Industrial crystallization
