The aim of this workshop is to review the recent developments in the field of Crystal Engineering by some of the world leading experts. We plan to cover the state-of-the-art in this field, in particular polymorphism, cocrystals, crystal packing analysis, high-pressure crystallography, polymorphic phase transitions, crystal transformations and patents. The workshop intends to create a relaxed atmosphere which will help a personal access to the speakers and an interaction between researchers during the coffee breaks and lunch. The official language of the whole event will be English.
