Collaborative Conference on Crystal Growth (3CG)
November 29 - December 3, 2010 Miami, FL, US
The Collaborative Conference on Crystal Growth (3CG) aims to promote discussions and information exchange across the frontiers of research in the fields of crystal growth and engineering. International scientists with common professional interests in crystal research will unite in a virtual, friendly and informal atmosphere to share their experimental and/or theoretical expertise in the physical, chemical, and biological phenomena and processes related to the design, growth, and application of crystalline material.
The cruise accommodation is adopted for 3CG and goes beyond a typical hotel setting, in an effort to foster intensive discussions beyond the conference room and around dinning tables and shore excursions.
The 3CG will not only be a time to enjoy the company of fellow researchers in the field, but also a time to have fun with friends and family! Miami, Key West, Cozumel (Mexico) afford an individual with many opportunities for leisure. We encourage you to give yourself some time for recreational pursuits!
WELCOME!
Conference Chair: Zhiming M. Wang
