<p> Dear Colleagues, </p>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in; line-height:

crystallographic school </b>“From data collection to
structure refinement and beyond” will be held on June 18-25,
2018 at Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National
Laboratory (ANL), near Chicago, Illinois, USA. All details can
be found at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in; line-height:
115%"><b>Dates</b>: June 18 through 25, 2018<br>
<br>
<b>Location</b>: Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National
Laboratory, Argonne (Near Chicago), Illinois, USA<br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in; line-height:
115%">The school comprises two parts: <b>data collection
workshop</b> and <b>crystallographic computing workshop</b>.
Data collection workshop includes beamline training, data
collection on GM/CA@APS beamlines 23ID-D and 23ID-B equipped
with Pilatus3 6M and Eiger 16M detectors respectively, and
data processing. For data collection, only the participants'
crystals will be used. Crystallographic computation workshop
will feature many modern crystallographic software packages
taught by authors and other experts. The daily schedule will
be organized in three sections – lectures, tutorials, and
hands-on (interactive trouble-shooting of the technical
difficulties the participants face in their projects). We have
had considerable success resolving these problems in past
years, attested by resulting publications (see <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-school/publications.php"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-school/publications.php</a>).</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in; line-height:
115%"><b>Applicants</b>: Graduate students, postdoctoral
researchers and young scientists at the assistant professor
level, along with commercial/industrial researchers are
encouraged to apply. Only 20 applicants will be selected for
participation. Participants of the workshop are strongly
encouraged to bring their own problem data sets or crystals so
the problems can be addressed during data collection and/or
computation workshops.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in; line-height:
115%"><b>Application</b>: Application deadline is <b>Wednesday
May 2nd, 2018</b>. The application form, the program,
contact info and other details can be found at <a

<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in; line-height:
115%"><b>Registration fees</b>: The registration for
application is free but there is $500 participation fee for
the selected academic students and $950 for the industrial
researchers. The link for the on-line payments and
instructions will be provided once the selection process is
completed. The students will be responsible for their
transportation and lodging. The workshop organizers can assist
in making the lodging reservations at the Argonne Guest House.
The workshop will cover all other expenses (including meals).</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in; line-height:
