[computing] Microsymposia for Prague congress

[Harry Powell]

Hi Claudia

I think this discussion is about next year's IUCr, not this year's ECM...

best wishes

Harry

However, I am not sure of how many micro symposia are left to settle, as in the ECM website https://ecm2019.org/programme/microsymposia/ it seems many of them have been already accepted and have their chairs already. In any case, I think we should support them.

I think this kind of contribution could be part of the Structural Bioinformatics MS or the Integrated Structural Biology one, but I understand that then it is very 'structural biology like' and not general for crystallography. I am not aware of many examples of use of IA outside my particular field in crystallography (well I know in cryoem), but if you think there would be enough people interested in the topic and speakers to fill it, I would support it.
