National Committee for Crystallography
The study of the structure of crystalline and other materials using X-rays, neutrons or electrons; synchrotron radiation, electron microscopy and diffraction, neutron scattering and diffraction. These studies impact the broader disciplines of chemistry, physics, geology, biology, and medicine.

The National Committee for Crystallography aims to:
- provide strategic evidence-based advice on crystallography to the Academy and other bodies as required
- support scientific literacy and excellence in crystallography by engaging with researchers, professionals and relevant national organisations
- liaise with relevant international bodies, ensuring Australian involvement in international activities
- promote interdisciplinary collaboration and take a multi-disciplinary approach in providing advice to the Academy
