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:
https://ccp4.github.io/central-european-workshop

The deadline for applications is 28th February 2026.

The workshop is organised by the Czech and Slovak Crystallographic Association and CCP4 with the support of the Czech Society for Structural Biology, CCP-EM and the European Crystallographic Association.

The 24th Heart of Europe Bio-Crystallography meeting will take place on the South of Bohemia on the bank of Lipno Lake and near to Sumava mountains in the Hotel Resort Relax at Dolni Vltavice. The HEC24 will be organized by the group of Ivana Kuta Smatanova from the Faculty of Sciences University of South Bohemia Ceske Budejovice. It is a great honour to welcome Kay Diederichs, a professor of Molecular Bioinformatics at the Department of Biology, University of Konstanz to give a HEC24 plenary lecture that will explain the concepts behind X-ray data quality indicators, which are still not appreciated by many practicing crystallographers.

Chemistry Towards Biology – Instruct Conference will be held on September 11 – 14, 2022 in Bratislava.

The conference will mainly cover topics – structure of biomolecules, intermolecular interactions, experimental and theoretical methods in biomolecular research.

The symposium will cover invited lectures, oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts, and poster sessions. Special attention is devoted to the active participation of young people at the symposium.

The early bird registration and abstract submission is May 31st, normal is June 30th. PhD students have special reduced fee.

Further details can be found at the conference web pages (https://www.instruct.sav.sk) and the conference flyer.
