The British Crystallographic Association (BCA) is an organisation for crystallography in the United Kingdom. It acts as the United Kingdom Adhering Body to the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr). [3] The association is multidisciplinary and supports research and teaching in chemistry, physics, biology and materials science, in both academia and industry. [4]

The Association administers a Dorothy Hodgkin Prize and an Arnold Beevers Bursary Fund. [5]

History

Before the society was formed, British researchers in the field were divided between the X-ray Analysis Group of the Institute of Physics and the Chemical Crystallography Group of the Chemical Society (now the Royal Society of Chemistry). [6] : 178–179  To address this separation, an impromptu working group was set up in 1979 to consider the establishment of a single unified association, followed by a 1980 working party with David Blow as chair and Stephen Wallwork as secretary. [6] : 181–183  [7] : 16, 29–30  These discussions ultimately led to the founding of the BCA in 1982. [8] [9]
