[sdpd] STX:RT:clay: With ECM21: Single Crystal and Powder Diffraction Software Workshop - Sunday 24th August 2003



   Free one day Single Crystal and Powder Diffraction Software Workshop
                    With ECM21: Durban, South Africa 
(All day Sunday 24th August 2003 - Costs are part of the ECM-21 registration)
            Powder Diffraction in the morning (9am to 12:30pm)
           Single Crystal in the afternoon  (1:30pm to 5:00pm)

            http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/projects/ecm21-durban2003/

With a main theme of "Crystallographic Software Wizardry in Single
Crystal and Powder Diffraction"; and thanks to resources provided by the
Congress organisers, there will be a free software workshop as part of
the ECM-21 conference registration (Sunday 24th to Friday 29th August
2003). A variety of speakers will show participants some of the advanced
features in available crystallographic software. 

Numbers are restricted to ~70 participants. ECM-21 registrants should
E-mail confcall...@yebo.co.za (and Cc l.m.d.cranswick...@dl.ac.uk) to have
their names put down as attendees. 

The main aim is to have 20 minute live sessions that show 1 to 2
problems on using the power tools in the various crystallographic
software packages in handling tricky problems that might not be
generally appreciated. 

It is requested that attendees read up on the software prior to
the workshop. Weblinks are provided (CD-ROMs can be sent with most of
the software and information to those isolated from the internet). Thus
presenters can go straight into their software demonstrations with very
minimal introduction.

In theory, breakfast snacks, morning and afternoon tea, coffee and lunch
is included. 

While focussed on the small molecule and powder diffraction
community, it is intended there will be some protein 
crystallography as part of the powder diffraction sessions.
