International School on Fundamental Crystallography
Third MaThCryst school in Latin America

Uberlândia, Brazil, 25 November - 3 December 2012

The Commission on Mathematical and Theoretical Crystallography is strongly committed to promote education in all the fundamental aspects of crystallography that nowadays are overlooked in common University courses. This mission is accomplished through a series of meetings in a wide range of regions. In fall 2012 we organized a school in Brazil, in continuation of our activity in the region after the previous shools in Havana and in Montevideo.
