Additionally participants will have the possibility to present their own work in a poster session and two speaker will be chosen to give a talk.

Directly following the symposium we will have the Vienna cryo EM Winter school from 15th of February till 20th of February 2020. This will be a one-week event teaching cryo EM for beginners by several experts:

Frank DiMaio (University of Washington)
Benjamin Engel (Helmholtz Zentrum Muenchen)
Christos Gatsogiannis (MPI Dortmund)
David Haselbach (IMP)
Thomas Juffmann (Max Perutz Laboratories)
Anton Meinhart (IMP)
Clemens Plaschka (IMP)
Christopher Russo (LMB)
Sjors Scheres (LMB, via webinar)
Florian Schur (IST Austria)

We will cover everything from sample preparation to map interpretation. However the course is limited to 25 participants and thus we require a letter of motivation including a short CV as application. The costs for the course are 250 Euro for academics and 1000 Euro for industrial participation
(Travel and accommodation not included and have to be arranged separately.) There are grants available to waive this fee. Please specify in your motivation letter if you would like to apply for such a grant. Symposium and workshop are separate events but we want to encourage workshop participants to participate also in the symposium.
