"The International Year of Crystallography 2014 represents a unique chance to highlight crystallography to a wide audience of researchers, students, school children and members of the public. It also offers a platform for boosting the capabilities of research laboratories in less well developed parts of the world, with instruments and expertise helping a new generation of scientists to learn theory and techniques, to generate data and to form collaborations with experts in various crystallographic fields. Agilent is proud to support IYCr2014, to assist the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) and its partners in achieving some of the key goals of the project. To this end, Agilent has teamed up with the IUCr in the IYCr2014 ""Crystallography in Everyday Life"" photo contest. A highlight of the IUCr Congress, this contest has been open throughout 2014, inviting all amateur and professional photographers to submit stunning images that capture the spirit of crystallography in the places, objects and experiences of everyday life. Entries have been submitted from across the world from both scientists and non-scientists alike. Two winning entries will each receive bursaries to attend the IUCr Congress, and their entries will be on display in the main exhibition area. These and 14 further notable entries will make up the Agilent-IUCr IYCr2014 academic calendar (2014-15), and copies will be available from the Agilent booth in Montreal. Agilent is also proudly supporting the IUCr-UNESCO OpenLab initiative; aiming to provide facilities and teaching to young scientists without access to their own instrumentation. Agilent and the IUCr have been working with a number of Agilent system users, specifically in Argentina, Hong Kong and Turkey, to develop OpenLab workshops organized by local researchers and supported by Agilent sponsorship and Application Scientists. This poster will highlight Agilent's IYCr participation, focusing on these initiatives."
