Dear Colleagues,
Deadline for the 9th annual CCP4/APS crystallographic school is on April 21, 2016. Applications received after this date will not be considered.
If you have a crystallographic problem you cannot resolve independently, this school is for you. From our past experience, the majority of participants bring with them the crystallographic problems and almost all these problems are resolved at the school.
Some of the publications, acknowledging the contribution of the school, are listed at
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-school/publications.php
This school will cover popular packages such as CCP4, PHENIX, SHELX and much, much more: http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2016/program.php
Instructions and hands-on assistance will be provided by the authors and developers of the represented software, and/or by other premier experts.
Each registered participant will be provided with a Linux computer with all covered software already installed and configured. Lodging is on-campus and all meals and refreshments will be provided at the venue.
These and other details, such as the fees, the on-line application, the program, the contact information etc. can be found at: http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2016/index.php
We are looking forward to meeting you in Argonne this summer.

Dear Colleagues,
This is a reminder that the application deadline for the 9th annual CCP4/APS crystallographic school is on April 21, 2016. Applications received after this date will not be considered.
The school will take place from June 21 through June 29, 2016 at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, near Chicago.
All aspects of macromolecular crystallography from data collection to structure refinement and validation, as well as functional assessment, will be covered. Instructions and hands-on assistance will be provided by the authors and developers of the represented software, and/or by other premier experts.
From our past experience, the majority of participants bring with them the crystallographic problems they cannot resolve independently and almost all these problems are resolved at the school.

Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 9th annual CCP4 crystallographic summer school at Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). All details can be found at
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2016/index.php
Title: CCP4 crystallographic school: From data collection to structure refinement and beyond
Dates: June 21 through 29, 2016
Site: Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne (Near Chicago), Illinois, USA
The school comprises
Data collection workshop the first three days: beamline training and data collection on GM/CA@APS beamlines 23ID-B and 23ID-D. For data collection, only the participants' crystals will be used.
Crystallographic computation workshop: The rest of the time after data collection will feature many modern crystallographic software packages taught by authors and other experts. The daily schedule will be organized in three sections – lectures,
tutorials, and hands-on, interactive trouble-shooting.
There will be model data sets available for tutorials but data, provided by participants, will have higher priority for the hands-on sessions.
Applicants: Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and young scientists at the assistant professor level, along with commercial/industrial researchers are encouraged to apply. Only 20 applicants will be selected for participation. Participants
of the workshop are strongly encouraged to bring their own problem data sets or crystals so the problems can be addressed during data collection and/or computation workshops.
Application: Application deadline is April 21. The application form, the program, contact info and other details can be found at
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2016/index.php
Registration fees: The registration fee for the selected participants is $400 for the academic and $950 for the industrial researchers. The link for the on-line payments and instructions will be provided once the selection process is completed.
The students will be responsible for their transportation and lodging. The workshop organizers can assist in making the reservations at economical lodging at the Argonne Guest House. The workshop will cover all other expenses.
We hope to see you at the school,
Garib, Ronan and Nukri
