CCP4 Conferences and Workshops

Upcoming Events

Annual CCP4 Conferences and Workshops

• CCP4 Study Weekend

  The CCP4 Study Weekend takes place in early January each year. It is a unique event and each year it covers a different topic from the field of protein crystallography. See below for details and proceedings from past Study Weekends.

• CCP4/APS Summer School

  The CCP4/APS Summer School takes place every June at the APS Synchrotron, Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, USA. It is a week-long course providing students with the opportunity to get expert help collecting data from their crystals and to get the most from the data during the structure solution process. Many of the leading developers of protein crystallographic software are on-hand to demonstrate software and assist students. The school is open to applicants from all around the world. See the school website for the details about the next school.

• CCP4/DLS Workshop

  The CCP4/DLS Data Collection and Analysis Workshop is a week-long course held in December at the Diamond Light Source in Oxfordshire, UK. The course consists of lectures and tutorials from beamline scientists, software developers and expert crystallographers, plus the opportunity to collect data at Diamond's beamlines and to get expert help in solving your structure.
