Second International Summer School of Crystallography 2015, Hamburg, 7.
- 13. June 2015
(Application open - deadline 15th of March)
Dear ccp4bb,
We are pleased to announce the second International Summer School of
Crystallography at the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science at DESY,
Hamburg (D). Prof. Carmelo Giacovazzo will lecture on the basics of
crystallography, covering mathematical understanding of crystallographic
point and space groups, diffraction experiments, structure factor
calculations, systematic absences, determination of space groups ,
background of phasing for structure determination of biomolecules and
many additional topics. Participants will also learn modern applications
and instrumentation of protein crystallography experiments at advanced
light sources, such as 3rd generation synchrotron and XFELs.
Speakers: Prof. Carmelo Giacovazzo (University of Bari), Prof. Henry
Chapman (CFEL / DESY, University of Hamburg), Prof. Arwen Pearson (CUI,
University of Hamburg), Dr. Thomas Schneider (EMBL), Dr. Gleb Bourenkov
(EMBL), Dr. Adrian Mancuso (European X-FEL), Dr. Thomas White (CFEL / DESY)
The summer school program is geared for PhD students working in the
field of crystallography, but exceptions for motivated PostDocs and MSc
students can be made. The course will mostly cover mathematical
background of crystallography, hence we are looking for students, having
a (bio)physics background. This will NOT be a workshop covering protein
crystallographic programs but rather will be theory oriented.
Besides the lessons there will be guided tours of PETRAIII/European
XFEL, a BBQ and a harbor boat trip scheduled.
Accepted applicants will be asked to pay a registration fee of approx.
100 EUR (includes coffee breaks and lunch). In addition, participants
will have to pay for their own travel expenses, accommodation will cost
70 EUR at the DESY Guest House (the rest will be covered by the school
budget).
The application deadline is on the 15th of March, 2015. Notification of
accepted applicants will be sent end of March. Places and accommodation
are limited to 30 students in total.
The application is as simple as follows:
- Applicants must provide a motivation letter, as well as, a CV,
directly to the organizer Cornelius Gati (cornelius.g...@desy.de).
