Main scientific topics of the session were as follows:
- mathematical aspects if crystallography
- structure of crystals
- methods of investigations of crystals
- development of crystallography during XXth century
- methods of teaching crystallography
The programme of the session also included excursions to the museums of St. Petersburg and St. Petersburg region.
