Since 2014, HTCC workshops have tackled the most fascinating achievements in both experimental methods and theoretical approaches, that have recently brought structural research to the forefront of natural sciences. We try to bring together leading experts in selected domains as lecturers, and motivated young(ish) scientists in crystallography or related fields as “students”, who may come from both academia and industry, and who are interested in acquiring new knowledge on the cutting-edge methods in structural science and exploring ways to apply them in their ongoing research.
