3rd Annual Users Meeting of iNEXT
| - |
In Grenoble
The EU-funded structural biology project iNEXT provides free user access to some of the most advanced facilities for structural biology in Europe: X-ray synchrotron sources, high-field NMR facilities, Electron Microscopy, and other imaging and biophysical characterization facilities.
The 3rd Annual Users Meeting of iNEXT will take place at the European Photon and Neutron (EPN) Science campus in Grenoble (France). The meeting is intended to bring together iNEXT users of the various facilities, and iNEXT partners to exchange on recent scientific advances made in the field of structural biology. It also provides a unique opportunity to discuss the access modalities to iNEXT facilities and to make suggestions for future improvements.
XTOP2018. XIV Biennial Conference of High Resolution X-ray Diffraction and Imaging
| - |
In Bari
XTOP2018 is an historical conference, the row starting in 1992 in Marseille, the last one was held in Brno (Czech Republic).
The main scope of the conference was set already in 1992 to X-ray topography and high resolution diffraction, however during the time the conference has covered also other related topics like X-ray tomography, phase sensitive scattering, scanning techniques etc.

ICDD Spring Meetings
| - |
In Newtown Square, PA
BCA Biological Structures Winter Meeting 2017
|
In Cambridge
The meeting is aimed at giving the audience an insight into the "joy and pain" of protein crystallographic/structural biology research. Speakers have been asked to choose a particular piece of published work from any stage of their career and speak about the "real" story behind it - the people, the chance meeting, the experimental process, the 100's of failed trials that eventually led to "perfect" experiment. The aim here is to give the audience a deeper insight into the processes that lead to the wonderful science that structural biology reveals.
The meeting will be opened by Professor Malcolm Longair, a former head of the department who has recently published a book describing the scientific history of the Cavendish Laboratory. He will present a seminar about the contributions of Perutz, Kendrew, Crick, Watson and Bragg at the Cavendish that help shape structural biology research.
Additional speakers include: the 2017 Nobel Prize winner Richard Henderson, Judith Howard Sir Tom Blundell, Randy Read, Pamela Williams, Ben Bax and Janet Thornton.
Key publications identified by the speakers will be assembled as a pdf-file that can be downloaded from the BSG website. A publication associated with the contents this meeting is planned to appear in the journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology in 2018.
There will be opportunities to visit the small museum in the Cavendish Laboratory that houses many of the historically important pieces of apparatus which contributed to major discoveries by members of the Laboratory. Dr. David Ward will also be available to show the scanning helium microscope that can be used for non-destructive imaging of biological samples and describe the new features being developed to extend the resolution below 100 nm.
3rd International Conference on Lipid Science & Technology

8th International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis
| - |
In Budapest
International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis (ICEFA2018) will bring together world-class researchers, users and specialists involved in all aspects of failure analysis and prevention from the fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering.
The strengths of past conferences have been the emphasis on practical application of technical knowledge to engineering failure analysis and the extensive use of case studies to the development of an understanding of engineering failures. The case study approach is strongly encouraged as an important mechanism for developing a body of knowledge well rooted in practical experience
Topics:
- Engineering failure modes for metallic and non-metallic engineering materials
- Approaches to failure analysis
- Role of service loading in failure analysis
- Case studies of failures in industry sectors such as aerospace, marine and offshore, automotive, rail, power generation, mining and minerals, consumer goods, medical devices and others
- Historical disasters
- Structural and architectural failures
- Failure analysis and joining technologies
- Role of condition monitoring and NDT in failure avoidance
- Failure analysis, maintenance and reliability
- Role of failure analysis in the design process
- Legal matters, ethical issues and insurance in the failure analysis industry
- Training and accreditation in failure analysis research and industry
