ECACOMSIG (or "SIG9") is the ECA's Special Interest Group that promotes all aspects of Computing in Crystallography. As such, its activities are central to most of the other SIGs in the ECA.

ECACOMSIG works closely with the International Union of Crystallography's Commission on Crystallographic Computing ("CompComm") to organise Microsymposia at meetings of the ECA and the IUCr and to organise Schools for developers and potential developers in computational methods for Crystallography.


We are organising a "Crystallographic Computing Forum" aimed at people who have an interest in developing new software; it will be held before ECM32 in Melk, Lower Austria, from 14th to 17th August - details here.
