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:

and Jaakko Keränen (Tampere)
Invited Lecturers:
Chris Booth Houston Mauro Gemmi Milano

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,
