The triennial congresses of the IUCr are the major international scientific meetings for structural scientists worldwide. The next Congress will be the 27th, and will be held in Calgary, Canada, 11–18 August 2026. IUCr Journals will publish an online collection of articles showcasing new and exciting research reported at the Congress. Prospective authors who are giving a talk or presenting a poster at the Congress are invited to contribute a high-quality scientific article based on the broad area of their presentation.

Articles may be submitted to any IUCr Journal and will be peer-reviewed as normal. If you decide to publish open access, publication will either be free if your institution has an open-access deal, or a 20% discount on the open-access fee will be available.

The final deadline for submission is 31 December 2026.

For more information on the special collection, please contact the Editorial Office ([email protected]).
