Welcome the 13th Bologna’s convention on crystal forms, CF@Bo n.13, organized by the group of Molecular Crystal Engineering (MCE) of the Chemistry Department G. Ciamician of the University of Bologna.
The meeting will open on Sunday 7 September in the San Giovanni in Monte historical complex of the University of Bologna located in the town centre and continue on Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 at the Aemilia Hotel
In keeping with the tradition of the CF@Bo series of meetings, the main objective of the convention is that of providing a forum for an open academy-industry discussion of the new challenges that the theme “crystal forms” presents daily to researchers in both working environments. In two and a half days participants will get an updated overview of where we stand in the field. CF@Bo also represents an opportunity for young researchers to meet senior scientists and researchers from academy and industry and to establish new collaborations.
We are proud of the response to our invitation to contribute to CF@Bo. The scientific programme is very dense and varied with speakers coming from 20 universities and research institutions, and from 21 companies. Besides, on Monday 8, 50 posters will be presented and the best posters will be awarded poster prizes sustained by the journals CrystEngComm and RSC Mechanochemistry.
We are also very happy with the fair gender balance and for the international spread, which have always been targets of our meetings.
The focus of the 13th edition will be on the following topics

We are grateful to ELDICO, XTALPI, Avant-Garde, TECHNOBIS, Malvern Panalytical, Schrödinger, NordTest and PolyCrystalLine for sponsoring the convention, and to the journals CrystEngComm and RSC Mechanochemistry for sponsoring "best poster" prizes (250€ each).
We also gratefully acknowledge the companies UCB, GENENTECH, Pfizer and Roche for financing the registration of young participants. The “Associazione Italiana Cristallografia”, AIC, supports the participation of young AIC members. As many as 10 registration fees have been waved thanks to these contributions.
The organizing committee is very much looking forward to welcoming you to Bologna. Beside good science, CF@Bo offers a good opportunity to visit Bologna: a medieval town and the site of the oldest university of the Western world.
