A CECAM/CCP4 Workshop will take place at the Spanish CECAM node in Zaragoza from 19:00 on March 11th to 20:00 on March 16th 2012. The overall objective of this course is to provide an intensive practical training in all computational aspects of macromolecular structure elucidation by X ray diffraction techniques, for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. We will provide a general introduction as well as tutorials; confirmed speakers and tutors include Andrew Leslie, Garib Murshudov, George Sheldrick, Isabel Uson, Jorge Navaza, Bernhard Lohkamp, Eugene Krissinel, Andrey Lebedev, Gabor Bunckozi and Judit Debreczeni.
The workshop is primarily funded by the Zaragoza and Daresbury CECAM nodes. Additional support is provided by CCP4 and the supercomputing centre FCSC. See the course website: http://www.z-cam.es/activity_participants.php?num=52 The number of 'students' will be limited to 28. Thanks to generous support from the CECAM nodes, we are able to provide accommodation (2 to a room) and some meals. Students are responsible for their own travel. The closing date for applications is February 3rd 2012. Application is via the Ask/Apply tab on the course web site. You should include in the message your name, gender (for shared accommodation), brief details of your academic qualifications and of your research project, including (very briefly) results achieved so far as well as problems with phasing and/or refinement, the name of your reseach supervisor or other person who may be consulted if necessary. All this information will be treated confidentially. Participants are encouraged to bring their own data. Martyn Winn Isabel Uson Garib Murshudov
