Description

CCP4 exists to produce and support a world-leading, integrated suite of programs that allows researchers to determine macromolecular structures by X-ray crystallography, and other biophysical techniques. CCP4 is a community based resource that supports the widest possible researcher community, embracing academic, not for profit, and for profit research. CCP4 aims to play a key role in the education and training of scientists in experimental structural biology.
CCP4 organises and/or sponsors several meetings a year, and the most important of these is the Study Weekend held each year on a chosen subject, just after the New Year. The Study Weekend offers an opportunity for students and colleagues to find out what's new in the suite, listen to high level talks on a specific topics and to experience some hands on exercises over lunchtime informal sessions. In addition we like to host an annual Diamond Light Source MX User Meeting before the study weekend as this is aimed at the same audience who attend the Study Weekend.
The 2017 workshop is scheduled for 5-7 January 2017 but we could accept any three consecutive days from 4th January up to and including 14th January 2017.
