Dear Colleagues,
on behalf of the EPDIC committee, we have the pleasure to invite the whole crystallographic community to participate in the ‘New Logo for EPDIC’ competition.
The event is created to design a new logo for the European Powder Diffraction Conference (EPDIC).
EPDIC is the only European conference entirely dedicated to new developments in powder diffraction instrumentation, analysis and applications, and is the place where all powder diffractionists, regardless of more interest in theoretical advances or in the application of techniques, can meet and exchange ideas and experiences.
The new logo must represent all the souls of the EPDIC.
The logo currently in use can be visualized at: http://epdic.ing.unitn.it/index.html
