AFC_cristal
The AFC is governed by an Administrative Council, composed of 12 members elected by AFC members for four years. The Council, which meets four times per year, sets policy and has the ultimate responsibility for the actions of the association. Its current composition was renewed in December 2021. The Council board, composed of the president, three vice-presidents, a secretary and a treasurer, was elected at the first Council meeting on January 17th, 2022.

Partnership proposalThe French Crystallographic Association (AFC) proposes a partnership with the companies and organizations involved with crystallography. This corporate membership is available on the basis of two years and includes the following benefits according to the level of partnership:
Standard sponsor
- display of the logo with clickable link to the partner's website, randomly posted on the main page of the AFC's website
- insertion of the partner logo in the booklet of the AFC meetings
- up to 5 free AFC memberships for the collaborators of the partner
- unlimited non-commercial announcements (users meetings, employment/internship offers...) on the diffusion list of the AFC
- full access to information available on the AFC website
- display of the logo with clickable link to the partner's website, at fixed and alphabetically ordered top position on the main page of the AFC's website
- 1 commercial announcement/year and unlimited non-commercial announcements (users meetings, employment/stage offers...) on the diffusion list of the AFC
- all the other benefits included in the standard sponsoring

These bursaries are awarded to young researchers (PhD students or post-doctoral fellows up to 2 years after the PhD) to enable them to present their work at conferences or schools sponsored or organized by the AFC. Applicants must be members of the AFC. They are selected by the AFC Council on the basis of a brief file including: (1) their CV, (2) a summary of their presentation (poster or oral) and (3) a recommendation letter from their supervisor.
The file should be assembled into a single PDF file entitled: AFC-Name of the candidate-Name of the congress.pdf and should be sent by email to
Check on the French bursary page to which conference or school you go with an AFC bursary in the section "Les congrès et écoles en 2020(/2021/2022) ouverts à l'attribution d'une bourse AFC".

The French Crystallography Association (AFC) is a learned society, which brings together scientists, mainly biologists, chemists, and physicists, who use crystals and crystallography for their research or develop experimental or theoretical methods in crystallography. Originally part of the French Mineralogy Society, the AFC was founded in 1953 and is governed by the 1901 Associations Act. Today, its main missions are to promote the exchange of knowledge and interactions between French-speaking crystallographers of all disciplines, in particular by organizing thematic or interdisciplinary symposia and through teaching and training activities. Any event which has a link with crystallography in the broadest sense can be sponsored by the AFC.
The AFC is organized according three thematic groups: Biology, Chemistry: structure and reactivity, and Condensed Matter Physics, which are also represented in its Executive Committee. Three interdisplinary and transverse axes complete the organization of the AFC: 'crystal growth', 'education in crystallography', and 'large-scale facilities'. During its biannual conferences, the AFC awards the André Guinier Prize and three PhD Prizes.
At the international level, the AFC designates members of the French National Crystallography Committee to be part of the French Committee of International Scientific Unions (COFUSI), representing France at the International Council for Science (ICSU), whose current headquarters and presidency are in France. The National Crystallography Committee represents France at the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr).
