Dear Friends,

Is it possible for you to inform the people on your 3D-EM mailing list
about the Electron Crystallography School in Tampere in June 2002?
I believe we used it for informing about the similar school in Barcelona
2001, with very good results.

Please reply to me telling if it is possible or not.

We would of course also appreciate any links on the home pages to our EC
School.

Kind regards

Sven

Electron Crystallography School 2002

Electron Crystallography and Cryo-Electron Microscopy on 
Inorganic Materials and Organic and Biological Molecules

June 7-12, 2002
Tampere, Finland

Organized by:

  Joachim Mayer (Aachen), Sven Hovmöller (Stockholm),
Xiaodong Zou (Stockholm), Peter Engelhardt (Helsinki)
  and Jaakko Keränen (Tampere)

Invited Lecturers:

Thierry Epicier	Lyon	Xiaodong Zou	Stockholm

Objectives

Structure determination by electron microscopy and electron 
diffraction of organic materials from paraffins to proteins has 
brought a wealth of new information, especially with the help of 
cryo-electron and low dose microscopy. Techniques like single 
particle reconstruction applied to the structure of viruses and 
ribosomes and automatic tomography techniques combined with 
cryo-microscopy have permitted structure determination of biological 
macromolecules to a limit of a few Ångström.

Electron microscopy and electron diffraction have also been used 
widely over the past decades in investigations of inorganic and 
organic materials, although the lack of knowledge about their power 
for atomic structure determination of inorganic materials has limited 
its use. A wide range of inorganic structures of metals and alloys, 
oxides and semiconductors, thin films, complex minerals, 
superstructures and superconductors, have been solved by electron 
crystallography. Electron crystallography data provides a complement 
to X-ray and neutron diffraction data, especially when there are no 
large single crystals available. Moreover, advanced instrumentation 
and software for accurate recording and measurement of electron 
microscopy images and electron diffraction intensities have been 
developed, including CCD cameras and image plates.

The objective of the 8th Euro Summer School on Electron 
Crystallography is to provide basic knowledge for Ph.D. students and 
scientists interested in applying electron crystallography techniques 
for structure determinations of inorganic and organic materials and 
biomolecules. Lectures will discuss both basic and advanced aspects 
of theory and instrumentation. All lecturers are established 
scientists in the field of electron crystallography, with well proven 
teaching experience. Practical software training is an essential part 
of the School. The participants are welcome to present posters.

The first two days of the Electron Crystallography School will be 
common to all participants, while the last three days are split into 
two parallel sessions, one specialising on biological macromolecules 
and the other on inorganic materials, each accepting 25 students. The 
school will start with a get-together party on Friday June 7. The 
first lecture starts Saturday June 8 at 08.30.  There are four 
lectures every morning and computer lab sessions every afternoon. The 
last lab finishes on Wednesday June 12 at 16.30.

Site

The school will take place in the conference and education centre 
Murikka outside the City of Tampere. For more information, visit 
Murikka´s website www.murikka-opisto.fi/index.html. Murikka is 
situated in the peaceful Finnish Lake District wilderness. All 
students stay in single rooms. Accommodation, all meals and teaching 
materials are included in the fee.

Registration fees

Including school fee, literature, accommodation, breakfast, lunch and 
dinner: 750 Euros. Grants covering the registration fee are available 
for all participants from EU under the age of 35, due to a grant from 
the European Commission. Some grants are also available for other 
participants in great need of economic support.

Registration

Applications should be sent before the 15th of February 2002. The 
number of participants is limited to 50. Priority is given to early 
applicants, as well as to a wide geographical distribution of 
participants. Use the on-line registration at the homepage of 
Electron Crystallography School,
