[3dem] CCP-EM Icknield Workshop for High Resolution Model Building and Refinement - Registration Open

[Tom Burnley]

Dear all,

We are proud to announce the 2018 Icknield Workshop kindly supported by
Instruct. This course is aimed at structural biologists with high
resolution EM maps ready for / in the process of model building and
refinement. This four day course (1st-4th May) will host some of the
leading software developers and provide ample contact time to allow
delegates to discuss their data in detail alongside traditional lectures
and tutorials. It will cover all aspects of model building including: map
optimisation, docking, automated model building, medium resolution
refinement, high resolution refinement, interactive refinement, validation
and deposition.

The course will be held at the RAL / Diamond Campus, Harwell, UK, site of
the eBIC national facility. Registration is free, thanks to generous
funding from Instruct, and we will provide food and three nights
accommodation at the Bear Hotel in nearby Wantage (nights of 1st, 2nd and
3rd May). Please note that during the application process you will be asked
if you would like to make an accommodation request - if you would like
accommodation provided for you free of charge please select yes and let us
know which nights you would like. If you do not want accommodation provided
for you please select no. Delegates are asked to meet their own travel
costs. Please see the agenda for full course times.

The course is limited to 20 delegates who will be selected from all
applicants.  A maximum of 50 applicants can register interest.

Applications will close on ***Wednesday 28th March*** and the 20 successful
applicants will be informed the following day. Please note the short
registration time as we would like to strongly encourage applicants to work
on 'live' datasets.
