Dear CCP4BB, The macromolecular crystallography (MX) group at Diamond is pleased to announce the next 2-day on-site user training event: Back to the Diamond MX Beamlines: Beyond Automation. This event will occur at Diamond Light Source on 30th September - 1st October 2026.
This training event provides established Diamond MX users, particularly those who are predominantly users of unattended data collection (UDC) or those that have used our beamlines remotely, greater awareness of all the tools our beamlines offer. These sessions will focus on best practices for sample preparation, data collection using our high-throughput beamlines, as well as data processing while demonstrating many tips, tricks and applied case studies. Sessions include: * Challenging Samples (MX Crystallisation facility and Membrane Protein Laboratory (MPL)) * Data Interpretation (MX Data Analysis Group) * Beyond defaults: Mastering Dose, Multi-Axis and Beam Delivery on I04 (I04) * Getting the most out of difficult crystals on I24 (I24) * Next Frontiers in X-ray Crystallography (VMXm, I23, XChem, XFEL-Hub) Financial support to attend the training is available to UK based users. To apply, and for further information, please see dls.mx/training<http://dls.mx/training>. The closing date for applications is 12:00 noon (BST) Monday 24th August 2026.
