Dear All,
We are pleased to announce the first International Summer School of
Crystallography at the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science at DESY,
Hamburg (D). As part of the International Year of Crystallography 2014,
Prof. Carmelo Giacovazzo will give a full week of lectures on the basics
of crystallography, as well as the basics of modern phasing methods in
protein crystallography. The course will cover basic mathematical
understanding of crystallographic point and space groups, diffraction
experiments, structure factor calculations, systematic absences,
determination of space groups and many additional topics. After the
discussions of theory, one afternoon will be spent to learn about modern
applications of protein crystallography using advanced light sources,
such as 3rd generation synchrotron and XFELs. The course will be given
mainly for PhD students working in the field of crystallography, but
exceptions for motivated PostDocs and MSc students can be made. The
course will mostly cover mathematical background of crystallography,
hence we are looking for students, having a (bio)physics background.
This will NOT be a workshop covering protein crystallographic programs
but will rather be theory oriented. The course will start Sunday
(11.05.2014) around lunch and will end Saturday (17.05.2014) around lunch.
The registration fee is 100 EUR per person including coffee breaks and
lunch.
Accommodations can be made at the DESY Guest House: 70 EUR per person
for 7 nights (10.-17.05.2014).
Application deadline will be 28th of February 2014 and notification of
accepted applications will be sent during March 2014. The applications
will be managed via the DESY Indico system:
https://indico.desy.de//event/ISSC14
Applicants must(!) provide a motivation letter, as well as a CV,
directly to the organizer Cornelius Gati ([log in to unmask]).
Places and accommodation are limited to 30 students in total.
Please contact Cornelius Gati regarding further questions
([log in to unmask]). We are looking forward to welcome you in Hamburg!
