[PyMOL] 15th Annual CCP4/APS Crystallographic School (onsite)

[Qingping Xu <qx...@an...>]

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 15th annual CCP4/APS crystallographic 
school “From data collection to structure refinement and beyond” will be 
held on March 27th to April 3rd, 2023 at the Advanced Photon Source 
(APS), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), near Chicago, Illinois, USA. 
All details can be found at the school website: 
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2023/index.php. This will be our first 
post-COVID in person workshop, scheduled before the APS upgrade shutdown.


Dates: March 27 through April 3, 2023
Location: Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne (Near
Chicago), Illinois, USA

The school comprises two parts: data collection workshop and 
crystallographic computing workshop. 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 
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-school/publications.php). A draft 
program can be found at the School website.

Applicants: The workshop strongly encourages students who need expert 
help with difficulties/challenges in their own projects. Graduate 
students, postdoctoral researchers and early-career faculty, along with 
commercial/industrial researchers are encouraged to apply. Only about 20 
applicants will be selected for participation.

Application: Application deadline is Jan 31th, 2023. To apply, visit  
https://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2023/application.php

Fees: There is a $500 participation fee for the selected academic 
students and $1500 for industrial researchers. No credit card will be 
required for registration, students who are selected to participate will 
be contacted to pay. The students will be responsible for their 
transportation and lodging. The workshop organizers can assist in making 
lodging reservations at the Argonne Guest House. The workshop will cover 
all other expenses (including meals).


We hope to see you at the school.
