International Workshop on Crystal Growth of Organic Materials

About this event

The International Workshop on Crystal Growth of Organic Materials (CGOM 16) is set to convene in Chennai, India, at the Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering. This prestigious event is organized in association with the Indian Association for Crystal Growth and is designed to present the latest advancements in the field of organic materials. The workshop promises a comprehensive program that includes plenary and invited lectures, oral presentations, and poster sessions, fostering a dynamic environment for knowledge exchange. Participants will engage in discussions surrounding critical themes such as nucleation, crystal growth, morphology, crystal chemistry, polymorphism, and solid-solid transitions of organic materials, addressing a range of systems from small molecules to macromolecules like proteins.CGOM 16 follows a rich history of previous workshops held in various countries, including Japan, the UK, Germany, France, and many others. This gathering aims to create a unique networking platform for industry leaders, researchers, and enthusiasts, encouraging collaboration and innovation. Notably, the journal Crystal Engineering Communications, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, will feature a special collection dedicated to the topic of Crystal Growth of Organic Materials, including contributions from the conference speakers and other leading experts. This collection aims to spotlight the latest methodologies, discoveries, and innovations in organic crystal growth, underscoring its relevance across applications in materials science, pharmaceuticals, and nanotechnology. Attendees can expect to explore a variety of sessions covering topics such as crystal engineering in drugs and pharmaceuticals, crystallization of organic and biological systems, fundamentals of nucleation and crystal growth, advances in observation and characterization methods, and industrial crystal growth technology. The workshop will also delve into modern techniques for crysta
