Nucleation and crystallisation are key issues in science and technology as diverse as atmospheric cloud formation and pharmaceutical production. Ice crystallisation in the atmosphere strongly influences cloud properties and climate, but our quantitative understanding of this process is extremely poor. Similar processes to those occurring in the atmosphere are of critical importance to the pharmaceutical and other industries. We propose here to bring these two communities together, the atmospheric and the industrial (represented by the British Association of Crystal Growth, BACG), at the 2008 annual meeting of the BACG, in order to promote collaboration and the transfer of ideas and expertise. A central aim is to for NERC knowledge transfer proposals to result from this meeting.

成核和结晶是科学和技术领域的关键问题，涉及到大气云的形成和药物生产。大气中的冰结晶强烈影响云的性质和气候，但我们对这一过程的定量了解非常少。与大气中发生的过程类似的过程对制药和其他工业至关重要。我们在此提议，在英国晶体生长协会2008年年会上，将大气和工业这两个团体聚集在一起，以促进合作以及思想和专门知识的转让。一个中心目标是使NERC的知识转移建议从这次会议的结果。
