DESCRIPTION:The evening will consist of a 45 min talk by Jason
  Cole\, Deputy Executive Director\, on the work of
  the CCDC\, followed by a tour of the Centre\, dem
 onstration of software and refreshments.\n\nThe Ca
 mbridge Crystallographic Data Centre is a non-prof
 it\, charitable Institution whose objectives are t
 he general advancement and promotion of the scienc
 e of chemistry and crystallography for the public 
 benefit. The CCDC was originally established in th
 e University of Cambridge Chemical Laboratory in 1
 965. Its principal remit is to compile and distrib
 ute a computerised database (the Cambridge Structu
 ral Database\, CSD) containing data for organic an
 d metal-organic compounds studied by X-ray and neu
 tron diffraction. The CSD is comprehensive for all
  results published in the open literature since th
 e inception of the technique in the early 1900s. T
 he CCDC serves the scientific community through th
 e acquisition\, evaluation\, dissemination and use
  of the world's output of small molecule crystal s
 tructures by: \n* Compiling the Cambridge Structur
 al Database (CSD) - the world repository of small-
 molecule crystal structures \n* Developing scienti
 fic products and services - structural knowledge b
 ases and applications software for the life scienc
 es and crystallography \n* Maximising worldwide ac
 cessibility to the CSD for scientists in academia 
 and industry \n* Performing and supporting fundame
 ntal research using CSD information and CCDC produ
 cts \n* Promoting and supporting applications of c
 rystal structure information in academia and indus
 try.\n\nThe building\, which is next door to the U
 niversity Chemistry Department\, was designed by i
 nternational architect Professor Erik Sorensen. Co
 mpleted in 1992\, the building won the Sunday Time
 s/Royal Fine Arts Society Building of the Year Awa
 rd in 1993.\n\nFree and open to non-members. \nReg
 istration required - contact John O'Toole (details
  below). \n\nEvent organised by SCI's Cambridge an
 d Great Eastern Group & the RSC Mid-Anglia Section
