CCP4 Central European Workshop 2026 – registration open

It is a great pleasure to announce the CCP4 Central European Workshop 2026 on computational structural biology. The event will be held in Nové Hrady, South Bohemia, Czechia, from 26th April to 2nd May 2026. The workshop is open to structural biologists from any part of the world who need to develop knowledge and skills in macromolecular crystallography and electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM), particularly in using software for data processing and analysis.

Please see our website for more details about programme, tutors and registration process:
