Next summer’s course will be held at Northwestern University from June 21st to July 1st. Check back in January for applications!

This year’s course will be held at the University of Notre Dame from July 7th to July 16th. Applications are now being accepted.

“I thought that the course was really great.  I feel like the amount of learning was excellent and that there was a good balance between theory and workshops… I wanted to say that this experience has been so wonderful.  All the instructors were great, attentive, and friendly.  This really exceeded expectations! Thank you all so much!”  — C.S. 2013

“Probably the best class I have ever taken.  The amount of material was impressive but the most outstanding aspect of the course is the collection of instructors…I can’t say enough about how great this course is and how well it was presented.  The attitude and excitement of the instructors was contagious and I hope to bring the same enthusiasm back to my class.  Thanks for everything.”  — M.R. 2012

Thank you for your interest in the ACA Summer Course in Chemical Crystallography. Unfortunately, we’ve received an overwhelming number of applications, and so we are unable to accept any more.

Please check back in January 2014 to apply for next year’s summer course at Notre Dame.

We are now accepting applications for the 2013 ACA Summer Course in Chemical Crystallography. Please see the “Apply” page for details.

Plans are well underway for the 2013 ACA Summer Course in Small Molecule Crystallography. This year, the course will be held at Northwestern University from June 23rd to July 3rd.

Application forms, the course syllabus and other useful information will be appearing on this site over the next few weeks, so check back soon.

What a great group of students we had at the school this year!

The 2012 ACA Summer Course in Chemical Crystallography was a wonderful success. We had 21 students from 5 different countries in attendance and all of them learned a lot of crystallography.

The ACA Summer Course in Chemical Crystallography is moving to a new location.  Two new locations, in fact!  Starting in 2012, the ACA Summer Course will be co-hosted by the University of Notre Dame and Northwestern University.  The school location will alternate between the two Universities (starting at Notre Dame in 2012).  The locations may change, but the crystallography remains the same!

If you’re looking for an intense introduction into small molecule crystallography, the ACA Summer Course is just right for you!
