Preliminary registration for IUCr Siena 2005 Crystallographic Computing School
http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/siena2005/ Main reason for posting: If you sent in a preliminary registration for the IUCr Commission on Crystallographic Computing Siena 2005 school - and you did not get a reply within 3 working days, please E-mail again and query this lack of response (don't send any file attachments). The most likely cause of not getting a quick reply is an over-eager institutional SPAM filter. http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/siena2005/registration.html ------------------- In case you missed the announcement before, preliminary registrations are now being accepted for the Siena 2005 school Current confirmed list of speakers: http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/siena2005/speakers.html Dr Kevin Cowtan; Dr Bill David; Dr Louis Farrugia; Dr Ralf Grosse-Kunstleve; Dr James Pflugrath; Dr Harry Powell; Professor George Sheldrick; Prof. Dr. Anthony L. Spek; Prof. Lynn Ten Eyck; Dr Tom Terwilliger ------------------- Registration requirements: * The School is intended for senior postgraduates, postdocs and above with a knowledge of crystallography who may want to become involved in software development, but lack experience in this. It is not intended to teach crystallography to computationally literate students, nor is it expected to teach the basics of programming. * It is assumed that students on the course will have (at least) scanned through a copy of one or more of the following books, depending on their background; - D. Blow, Outline of Crystallography for Biologists, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2002. - W. Clegg, A.J. Blake, R.O. Gould & P. Main, Crystal Structure Analysis: Principles and Practice, ed. W. Clegg, IUCr & Oxford Science Publications, Oxford, 2001. - Fundamentals of Powder Diffraction and Structural Characterization of Materials by Vitalij Pecharsky and Peter Zavalij, Springer, 2003, ISBN: 1-4020-7365-8. It would not be too much to expect that all students would be familiar with the contents of - C. Giacovazzo, H.L. Monaco, D. Viterbo, F. Scordari, G. Gilli, G. Zanotti & M. Catti, Fundamentals of Crystallography (2nd Edition), ed. C. Giacovazzo, IUCr & Oxford Science Publications, Oxford, 2002. (especially those chapters on "Symmetry in Crystals" and "Crystallographic Computing") Students should have some programming skills such as the ability to write a runnable non-trivial program in a language like FORTRAN or C (or C++, Python or Java) (with calls to subroutines or functions). Participants are assumed to bring their own laptop computer on which 'school required software' can be installed -------------------- Registration Costs (includes all meals) * 550 Euro for full accomodation including meals (single room) * 500 Euro for full accomodation including meals (shared room) * 400 Euro for lodging not included (but includes cost of lunches and dinners). * Accompanying Person : 250 Euro (Outside Accomodation but with evening meals, evening drinks at the Certosa; and school dinner in Siena for 21st August). (there are only a limited number of single rooms at the Certosa, so it will not be possible to give everyone a single room preference, and sharing may be required. -------------------- Sponsors: http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/siena2005/sponsors.html The Siena 2005 School on Crystallographic Computing is sponsored and supported by the following organizations: University of Siena: http://www.unisi.it/ Bruker AXS http://www.bruker-axs.de/ Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/ CCP4 - Collaborative Computing Project Number 4 in Protein Crystallography - http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ Rigaku/MSC http://www.rigakumsc.com/ ------------------- Lachlan. -- ----------------------- Lachlan M.
