The IUCr is a member of the International Council for Science, and adheres to its principles on the free circulation of scientists. See the text of the IUCr about Scientific Freedom Policy Statement.  The IUCr should be informed immediately if any problems arise concerning visas or any other kind of discrimination.

This school will be dealt with theoretical and practical aspects of crystallization and crystallography methods applied in determining the structure of solid materials. The topics proposed for the School involving all science materials, control and description of industrial crystallization processes, nanotechnology, polymorphism, co-crystallization of active pharmaceutical ingredients and especially tools for structure determination of solids (including amorphous) using data of X-ray diffraction powder. The third school in Crystallization and Crystallography for Latin America (ECRISLA) will feature internationally recognized experts and will be taught at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, Brazil.
