This year the annual conference Discussions in Structural Molecular Biology in Nove Hrady is canceled because of the ongoing reconstruction of the Castle theater. The CIISB users meeting this Autumn (October most likely) will be connected with a Structural biology conference of this type. We hope that the Castle theater in Nove Hrady will be available for the 2018 conference. For the future we want to stick to the CIISB Users meeting being connected to the Discussions conference. The General assembly of the CSSB society must meet once a year. This year we want to do this at the Instruct Biennial Structural Biology Meeting 2017. This conference has a promise of a very interesting program (held in Brno). The General assembly of CSSB is planned at this conference (May 25 2017, 17:30 – 18:00). We would like to ask all members of our society to register to this conference and participate in the Assembly.

The third Instruct Biennial Structural Biology Meeting will take place in Brno, Czech Republic the 25-26th of May 2017. Brno is the city of Johann Gregor Mendel, a founder of modern genetics and one of the first scientists who applied multidisciplinary approach to explain his observations. Social programme of the meeting will include visit of the Mendel’s Museum and dinner at the Augustinian Abbey, where Johann Gregor Mendel worked and lived.
The inaugural Instruct Structural Biology Meeting at Heidelberg in 2013 successfully showcased integrative structural biology and its impact on biological research and biomedicine. The second Biennial took place in Florence in 2015 continuing the integrative line with an increased focus on innovation. This new edition will include sessions that represent recent structural biology highlights, emerging methods and technologies and results of biomedical importance.

FEBS Advanced Course: Ligand-binding Theory and Practice will take place in Nové Hrady on July 3 – July 10, 2016 (application deadline: April 1, 2016). This course provides training in the theoretical and practical principles of ligand binding. It offers participants the possibility to analyse their own macromolecular interaction systems using contemporary advanced methods including surface plasmon resonance, isothermal titration calorimetry, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies, and microscale thermophoresis. The design, execution, and interpretation of these experiments will be guided by expert tutors. Additional lecturers will discuss other contemporary methods used in experimental studies of ligand binding, and current views on the phenomenon of allostery.
