IUCr2026 sessions on magnetic structure

Abstract portal open from 15 October 2025 to 15 February 2026

The 2026 IUCr Congress in Calgary (Aug 11-18, 2026) will be an exciting event for all interested in high-quality magnetic-structure data and structure-property relationships. See below for list of half-day microsymposia related to magnetic structures, where the sponsoring and co-sponsoring scientific IUCr commissions are also shown. Session times, dates, and chairs will be added later. Visit https://iucr2026.org for more information about the meeting. See https://www.iucr2026.org/microsymposia for the full list of microsymposia.
