Subject: CCP4 crystallographic summer school in USA, at APS, June 24-July 2
  
    
  
  
    Dear Colleagues,
    
 
    We are pleased to announce the seventh
      annual CCP4 crystallographic summer school at Advanced Photon
      Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). All details can
      be found at 
    
     
    
    Title:"CCP4 crystallographic school:
      From data collection to structure refinement and beyond"
     
    Dates: June 24 to July 2.
    
      
    Site: Advanced Photon Source,
      Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois (Near Chicago), USA
    
      
    The school content: Data collection
      workshop the first two days: beamline training and data collection
      on GM/CA@APS beamlines 23ID-B and 23ID-D. For data collection,
      only the participants' crystals will be used.
    Software workshop: The rest of the time
      after data collection will feature many modern crystallographic
      software packages taught by authors and other experts. It will be
      organized in three sections – lectures, tutorials and hands-on
      trouble-shooting.
    There will be model data sets available for
      tutorials but data, provided by participants, will have higher
      priority for the hands-on sessions.
     
    Applicants: Graduate students,
      postdoctoral researchers and young scientists at the assistant
      professor level 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.
     
    
     
    Fees: There
      is no fee for the workshop. The students will be responsible for
      their transportation and lodging. The workshop organizers can help
      make the reservations at economical lodging at the Argonne Guest
      House. The workshop will also cover the expenses for all meals and
      refreshments.
    
    
    We hope to see you at the school,
