The Conference on Applied Crystallography is a prestigious scientific event organized since 1962 when Prof. Zbigniew Bojarski held a meeting dedicated exclusively to X-ray powder diffraction and its application to phase identification of various materials. 

Today, the conference topics primarily focus on the use of crystallography to study different types of materials and the effect of their structure on their properties. 

This includes discussions on the crystallographic characterization of metals, ceramics, polymers, and complex composites, as well as an in-depth exploration of how crystal structure directly impacts the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of these materials. The conference aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between structure and properties, fostering advancements in material science through the application of cutting-edge crystallographic techniques. The main topics of the conference are:

• Development of methods and techniques (X-ray, neutron and electron diffraction, PDF, EBSD)
• Crystal structure determination
• Texture analysis
• Crystallography of phase transformations
• Material structures (metals, ceramics, polymers, thin films, quasicrystals, amorphous material, nanomaterials, molecular crystals, structure of interfaces)
