Registration deadline for the symposium is 6th of January 2020. All registration details and abstracts can be changed until then.
For the symposium we have a registration fee of 50 Euro for academic participants and a fee of 100 Euro for participants from industry.

In addition to the excellent group of speakers we have the ?Freeze Frame Competition? ? this competition is aimed at young researchers, however, is open to everyone. You will have 2 minutes and 2 slides to show off your best images and give the audience an overview of your research project - the best presentation wins!

at this one-day event.

This workshop will include all steps of image reconstruction and the practical use of software for single particle image reconstruction available under Scipion. This workshop will consist of three days of lectures and hands-on training sessions led by Profs. David DeRosier, Jose Maria Carazo, Georgios Skiniotis and colleagues. The practical sessions will be conducted via cloud computing accounts and is only available on-site to a limited number of participants. Zoom teleconferencing will be available for the lectures and demonstration of the practical material but will not have a practical participation option.

There is no fee for this workshop.

If you are interested, you may apply before October 31, 2019.

Major topics covered includeÂ

• Single particle cryoEM (theory, hands-on specimen preparation, insight into data collection and hands-on image processing practicals).
  
• Cellular tomography (Both theory and sub tomogram averaging practicals) and
  
• Talks on MicroED - 3D electron Crystallography and its application.Â

Speakers include 2017 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Professor Joachim Frank (Columbia University).

a 2.5 day practical winter workshop on sample
preparation and negative staining for cryo-EM single particle data
collection jointly organised by the ESRF, IBS, ILL and the EMBL
Grenoble. This is the third of a series of practical hands-on workshops
started in 2018.

This workshop is aimed at PhDs, PostDocs and scientists
new to the field of single particle cryo-EM and will be held at the
European Synchrotron, EMBL Grenoble and the Institut de Biologie
Structurale (IBS) in Grenoble, France. During the course, participants will
learn theoretical and practical aspects of sample preparation for single particle cryo-EM
including prior quality control by negative staining.

There is *no registration fee* and meals and accommodation during the
workshop will be provided free of charge. However, participants are
expected to arrange and pay for their own travel to/from Grenoble. A
maximum of 12 participants will be selected and we will accept a number
of participants' samples to be tested during the workshop. In the case
that you plan to bring your own sample, please clearly mention this in
your cover letter, also indicating the importance of the project.

Electron diffraction method for cryo-electron microscopes

To be held at Electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC), Diamond Light Source.

The meeting is open to academia and free to attend.

Stanford-SLAC Cryo-EM Center (S2C2) is offering a training workshop on experimental aspects of cryo-EM tailored to beginners. This workshop will be held at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory between September 11 and 13, 2019. Preference of trainees is given to individuals who have research projects ready for cryo-EM investigations and have a background in structural biology. This workshop will consist of three days of morning lectures and afternoon hands-on training sessions. Onsite attendance for the lecture sessions is limited to ~40 participants with additional access provided via Zoom teleconferencing. The hands-on sessions are limited to 8 participants. If you are interested, you may apply before August 31, 2019.
There is no fee for this workshop.
