To promote crystallography through the "Midi-Pyrénées" Region, our association, « Les Cristallographes en Midi-Pyrénées » has scheduled different events from October 2013 until the end of 2014. These events will cover scientific demonstrations and/or lectures open to the general public. 1) Events - The Novela (7-12 October 2013), organized by the Toulouse-Metropole, is an event whose major goal is to share knowledge, in all its diversity, in a festive and popular spirit. It aimed at pupils and students as well as the general public. This will be performed once again in October 2014. - The "Kiosque-Actu" at the Toulouse Museum provides an opportunity to inquire and to exchange with researchers on a scientific topical subject. On the 2nd of February 2014, researchers coming from several laboratories in Toulouse (CEMES, CIRIMAT, GET, IPBS, and LCC; from the CNRS and the Paul Sabatier University) and involved in all domains of X-ray diffraction (Biology, Mineralogy, Chemistry, Materials, etc.) came to meet the general public and to demonstrate the importance of crystallography. Exhibition "Voyage dans le cristal / Journey within a crystal" at (i) the Philadelphe Thomas Museum in Gaillac (14 February-4 May 2014) and (ii) at the library of the Paul Sabatier University (from the 1st of September until the end of the year).
