The third edition of the Hot Topics in Contemporary Crystallography – HTCC3 was held in Bol on the island of Brač (Croatia), from Sep. 23rd to 27th, 2018. The workshop was extremely well attended, as we had 31 students out of which 15 grantees to whom we distributed bursaries in a total amount of EUR 2.560,00 EUR. Golden partner of the HTCC3 was Bruker and its local representative in Croatia – Aparatura d.o.o.. The workshop was also generously supported by IUCr, DECTRIS, Ministry of science and education of the Republic of Croatia and PLIVA d.o.o..
