Dates: May 24 – 26, 2023
Venue: BIOCEV, Vestec

Aim: The course will provide basic and applied training in evaluation of X-ray diffraction data using CCP4 software suite. The scope will cover whole procedure from processing of the diffraction images to structure validation.

Format: The course will be partially talks and partially hands-on tutorials. The participants are encouraged to bring their own data. Talks will be accessible to anyone, number of places for practicals is limited and registration is required.

We thank all the contributors for taking part in the Conference. 135 participants enjoyed the scientific programme consisting of 27 talks, 7 flash talks and 46 posters. We were glad to reconnect with old friends and find new ones, also during the evening (and nights…). You can return to the Conference moments with the photos.

Congratulations to the winners of the Student competition:
Posters: Michaela Novotná, Zuzana Trebichalská, Július Zemaník
Talks: Lucie Valentová, Karolína Honzejková, Ondřej Bulvas
