In 2014, EMU supported young scientists who attended the First European Crystallographic School in Pavia, Italy.

The two students who were awarded the EMU grants were Abdissa Tufa (left on the image), presently attending a master program in geology at the University of Poitiers (France), and Marcin Stachokwicz (right on the image), a graduate student at the University of Warsaw (Poland).
