The Symposium will take place on Friday, 21<span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; top: -0.5em;">st</span> January 2022 and will bring together the User Community of the EMBL Cryo-EM Platform.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This is a one-day event with EMBL Cryo-EM Platform users presenting their results. In addition, there will be a session on new technologies for cryo-EM grid preparation. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Invited speakers include Irina Gutsche (IBS Grenoble, FR), Arjen Jakobi (TU Delft, NL), Matthew Kraushar (MPI for Molecular Genetics, Berlin, DE), Daniel Levy (Institut Curie, Paris, FR), Melanie McDowell (MPI of Biophysics, Frankfurt, DE), Nathan Nelson (Tel Aviv University, IL), Gergely Papp (EMBL Grenoble, FR), Celia Plisson-Chastang (CBI Toulouse, FR), Miriam Weckener (RFI Didcot, UK), Michael Webster (John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK) and Giulia Zanetti (ISMB London, UK).</span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">All participants will have the possibility to present their own work in a poster session.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We aim to organise the Symposium as a physical, on-site event. All participants must comply with the German "2G rule" (being fully immunised against Coronavirus). We will require a proof of either vaccination or recent recovery from the infection. In addition, all participants are highly encouraged to make an antigen self-test before coming to the campus.<br>As per the government of Baden-Württemberg regulations, please respect all hygiene measures and precautions like wearing a face mask in all circulation areas and observing the distance rule of 1.5m. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We believe that there is a real advantage of keeping the Symposium as a physical event. Please keep in mind that in case the regulations would not allow us to hold the event in January, we would postpone it to a later date.</span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The participation and on-site catering is free of charge. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The registration is open until 31st December 2021.</span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">To attend the Symposium, please register here:</span><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.de_r_Cryo-2DEM-5FUser-5FSymposium-5F2022&d=DwMFaQ&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=L7-zyQ-04fFCMRqzLIOnx7H0exGZHwIQe_wMPuY600I&m=GtpvX3K2sbgzq8y7-zqGrmRRSJ2aFJfM-2A4Kp4LqDY_UDvIjxiCMSPp4pJn4hfh&s=DX8HazkR4juVPexygTCIRMftyys-NZdwIFfUgcb_O2Q&e=" target="_blank" tabindex="-1" rel="external" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.surveymonkey.de/r/Cryo-EM_User_Symposium_2022</span></a><span lang="EN-US"></span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">For further information please contact </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(55, 99, 174);"><a href="mailto:cryo-em-symposium@embl.de" target="_blank" tabindex="-1" rel="external" style="cursor: pointer;">cryo-em-symposium@embl.de</a></span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Join the conversation by using #EMBLCryoEM on Twitter. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We are looking forward to meeting you in Heidelberg.</span><br><br><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Best wishes, </span><div><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Felix Weis</span></div><div><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;"><br></span></font><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">On behalf of the Cryo-EM User Symposium Organising Committee</span><br><br><div></div><br></div></div></body></html>
