############################################################ After the successful first workshop on "Diffraction Data Collection Using Synchrotron Radiation", which took place in 2007, a second edition of the workshop will be held from August 13-15, 2009 at the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin fuer Materialien und Energie (HZB) in Berlin.
The workshop is sponsored by the German Society for Crystallography (DGK) and organised by the DGK Working Group 1 (Biological Structures) in cooperation with Dr. Uwe Mueller (BESSY, Berlin). The workshop comprises a series of basic lectures on the topic and two extended practical sessions. It is aimed at PhD students in Biological Crystallography with little or no experience in diffraction data collection at a synchrotron. The practical session will take place at the MX beamlines located at the electron storage ring BESSY II. The workshop fee is 50 EUR. This fee covers all conference material as well as board and lodging for two nights on the campus in Berlin-Adlershof. For more information please visit the web page www.embl-hamburg.de/workshops/2009/diffraction Registration will be open soon. Since the number of students will have to be limited to 20 in order to ensure that the practical sessions run efficiently, we expect that the workshop will fill up quickly. ############################################################## Manfred Weiss & Uwe Mueller -- ******************************************************************** * * * Dr. Manfred S.
