Welcome to Aperiodic 2021

Aperiodic 2021 (10th International Conference on Aperiodic Crystals) will be held on June 20-25, 2021, in Akira Suzuki Hall of Sapporo campus at Hokkaido University, Japan. Aperiodic 2021 is the latest in a series of conferences sponsored by the Commission on Aperiodic Crystals of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr). These conferences are held every three years, with the most recent meetings in Ames Iowa (the USA, 2018), Prague (Czech Republic, 2015), Cairns (Australia, 2012), Liverpool (UK, 2009), Zao (Japan, 2006), Belo Horizonte (Brazil, 2003) and Nijmegen (The Netherlands, 2000). Aperiodic 2021 is the second of this series held in Japan.

Aperiodic 2021 provides an excellent opportunity to learn about new results in the field of aperiodic crystals, including incommensurately moduldated phses, composite crystals, and quasicrystals. Aperiodic 2021 also offers an opportunity for researchers working in these fields to exchange ideas and encourage collaborations with other research groups, hence promoting material science and engineering. The campus of Hokkaido University is located at the center of Sapporo, which is the largest city in Hokkaido island with a population of approximately 2 millions. The participants will enjoy the most pleasant season in this northern island, late Spring, with its many flowers.

Organizing committee of Aperiodic2021 is closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic evolution. The conference will take place under its conventional on site form if all safety conditions are met. Otherwise Aperiodic2021 will take place as an online.
