======================================================

EMBO practical course on Solution Scattering from Biological Macromolecules

The course will take place at the EMBL, Hamburg Outstation, Germany, on
October 25th - November 1st, 2010.

Organizers:
D. Svergun,  M. Roessle, M. Petoukhov, P. Konarev, D. Franke, A. Kikhney
(European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Hamburg Outstation)

The course aims at young biochemists/biophysicists and researchers active in
related structural methods (protein crystallography, NMR, electron microscopy)
with little or no experience in solution scattering. The course will cover
basics of SAXS/SANS, instrumentation, data collection, modelling techniques
and complementary use with other methods. The students will be encouraged to
bring their own samples to perform synchrotron solution scattering experiments
on-site and the results will be used for practical tutorials and discussed on
the last day of the course.

There is no registration fee and accommodation and subsistence are covered for
accepted applicants. Scientists from industry will be required to pay a fee of
Euro 1000.

Limited travel support could be provided to young scientists working in
geographical Europe with the exception of Germany, UK, France, Spain, Italy,
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium
and Ireland.

The course materials, preliminary list of speakers and online application
forms to attend the course are available from
http://www.embl-hamburg.de/training/courses_conferences/course/2010/SAXS/

The deadline for applications is July 31st, 2010. The applications will be
considered by a Selection Committee and the results of the selection procedure
will be sent to applicants by email within about four weeks of the closing
date.
