The International Year of Crystallography is a major events we are celebrating here, in Marseille (France).

The opening day of the International Year of Crystallography in the region Provence Alpes Cotes d'Azur will take place on March 18, 2014 at "La Maison de la Région" (61 Canebière, 13001 Marseille) in the presence of our partners and representatives of institutions and local authorities.

Programme:
- At 6:00 p.m., a presentation of various regional events which will mark the year 2014 will be followed by a conference of Alain Baronnet, emeritus professor at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Centre Marseille-CINAM (CNRS / AMU), entitled "Quand la Terre, l’Homme et les animaux se concurrencent pour faire des cristaux" (When the Earth, Man and animals compete to create crystals)
- At 7:00 p.m., the opening ceremony will involve representatives of our partners and communities.

During a cocktail, part of the exhibition "Voyage dans le cristal" (Journey into the crystal) by Jean Louis Hodeau will be presented.
