Dear All Please support the BCA winter meeting this year which, in a break from convention, is being held at ESRF/ILL, Grenoble, France - as you know, a major centre for structural biology research and infra-structure. This is an experiment for the BSG committee, really, being in the spirit of the International Year of Crystallography, etc, and is perhaps a one-off event. However, registrations from the UK are low so please register, publicise the meeting and encourage your group members to attend, if at all possible. There is some urgency in this and I can't put it better than one of the local organisers: "...it needs to be done soon and it needs to have as many people as possible trying to get it going. We are trying hard to mobilise people at this end..." The BSG is extremely appreciative of the hard-working organisers in Grenoble who have put together an excellent programme covering: Research Infrastructures: State-of-the-Art and Impact for Structural Biology, Future Opportunities for UK Structural Biology in Grenoble, Combining X-rays & Neutrons in Structural Biology, Structural Biology on the EPN Campus, Emerging Techniques in Structural Biology.
Registration and all other details are available at this link: http://bsg.crystallography.org.uk/index.html We look forward to seeing you there. Best wishesJon Cooper
