The 3^rd workshop “Floating Zone Technique” took place from 16^th to 18^th September 2019 at Oxford University, UK. This workshop connected researchers in the field of crystal growth who use the floating zone technique and offered a platform for discussing ongoing activities, current research results and engineering developments.

After two events 2013 and 2016 at IFW Dresden the last workshop venue was the Oriel College in the heart of Oxford. The programme included invited and contributing talks providing a picture of the latest developments in the field of floating zone crystal growth and beyond, and plenty of possibilities for individual conversations.
