EPDIC Committee (EPDiCom)
A permanent EPDIC Committee was established during EPDIC-6 in Budapest, and partially renewed at EPDIC-7 in Barcelona, at EPDIC-9 in Prague and at EPDIC-11 in Warsaw, following the established rules.
The background, reasons and procedures for the establishment of EPDiCom were extensively discussed prior to EPDIC-6 through e-mail messages and questionnaires, which can be accessed for information.
The members of the EPDIC Committee (EPDiCom) established at EPDIC-11 are:
The informal set of rules indicating the scope and operation of the EPDIC Committee is listed, albeit please note that they might be subject to changes in the near future following in-depth discussion of the Committee and suggestions from the powder diffraction community.
Please note that the EPDIC Committe is meant to represent all scientific aspects of powder diffraction and the regional distribution of powder diffractionists in Europe. Suggestions and comments from all powder scientists in order to make the Committee more representative and complete are welcome and may be made at any time, either informally to the above members or formally to the Chairman: :
The EPDiCom is now in the position of interacting with other organizations concerned fully or in part with powder diffraction. Mutual collaboration with the European Crystallographic Association has been ensured through the establishment of the ECA Special Interest Group on Powder Diffraction (SIGPD).
