Dear Colleagues, we are pleased to announce the third CCP4 structure solution school at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Okinawa. All details can be found at http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/OIST-2015
Title: "CCP4 school: From data processing to structure refinement and beyond" Dates: November 2 to 7, 2015 Site: Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Okinawa, Japan The school content: Software workshop: the workshop will be taught by authors and other experts, including Garib Murshudov (refmac), Victor Lamzin (arp/warp), Robbie Joosten (pdb_redo) and Phil Evans (aimless). It will be organized in three Sections - lectures, tutorials and hands-on trouble-shooting. We will also be covering the use of DIALS for data processing and the new ccp4 interface. 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 25 applicants will be selected for participation. Participants of the workshop are strongly encouraged to bring their own problem data sets so the problems can be addressed during data collection workshop and/or hands-on sessions.
