Congratulations to Thamer Alotaibi University of Southampton and Xu Jia KU Leuven, for winning the CCDC Prize for Best Poster at #ECM34 👏👏 #Community #Crystallography

🙌We had a great time at #ECM34 including meeting with the ICSD/FIZ Karlsruhe and ICDD teams. We discussed the integrity of published #structuraldata and explored new ideas to keep working together for the benefit of the scientific community. #Collaboration

Congratulations Thamer 👏

The CSD Python API empowers researchers to extend the functionality of the CSD portfolio allowing access to object information typically used only in desktop interfaces, e.g. tackling particle morphology. 🔗ccdc-info.com/46pTlGa #Crystallography #Python
