<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">Dear Structural Biology community,<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;"><a href="https://auc2019.uleth.ca/" class="">AUC2019</a>, the 24th AUC Workshop and Symposium, will be held at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch (New Zealand) from 24-29 August 2019. <o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">The format of the event is a 2-3 day <a href="https://auc2019.uleth.ca/workshops.php" class="">workshop</a> offering parallel, hands-on training in experimental design and the latest AUC data analysis software
from the world experts in this area followed by a 2 day research symposium on AUC and complementary approaches: methodological development, combination with orthogonal techniques (SAXS, SANS, SPR, MST, SEC-MALLS etc), application in biosciences and material
sciences.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">Registrations are now open and details can be found at this website: <a href="https://auc2019.uleth.ca/" class="">https://auc2019.uleth.ca/</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;"><o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">As the <a href="https://auc2019.uleth.ca/symposium.php" class="">scientific program</a> for AUC2019 emerges, events will be uploaded to the website. We strongly encourage you <a href="https://auc2019.uleth.ca/abstracts.php" class="">to submit
abstracts for talks and posters</a>.<span class="MsoHyperlink"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">The meeting is also timed such that delegates can also attend the <a href="https://www.queenstownresearchweek.org/" class="">Queenstown Molecular Biology Conference</a> (which is in Queenstown), although note
that this is a separate conference.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;"><o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">Lastly, The European Biophysics Journal has kindly agreed to run a special issue to celebrate the research presented at AUC2019. Therefore, we invite those who wish to extend their talks to a journal publication
to consider contributing original research articles to this issue. Please indicate your interest for inclusion in this volume below. Deadline for registration of a contribution is August 30 2019.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">We look forward to welcoming you to Christchurch, New Zealand next Spring(-ish)!<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
