[3dem] CCP-EM Spring Symposium - Bursary, talk and poster applications

Wed Feb 4 03:03:35 PST 2026

12th CCP-EM Spring Symposium & BCI Meeting 22-24th April 2026, EMCC, Nottingham, UK

Dear all,

As we have had several late submissions for poster/talk abstracts and bursary applications, we have extended the deadline for both until Wednesday 11 February 2026 so that everyone who wishes to, has the chance to apply. If you are interested, please see the instructions below:

Selected talk and poster applications
We will be accepting applications for up to 4 selected talks to be included in the programme. These talks should be 15 minutes in length with 5 minutes at the end for questions. Anyone who is interested may apply by giving their proposed talk title and a short (1250 character max) abstract when completing their in-person registration. Please submit all abstracts for talks by midnight 11 February 2026.
As per last year, we will also be running a poster session. If you would like to present your poster, please submit your title and abstract (1250 character max) through the in-person registration form by the 11 February 2026.
In-person registrants may apply for both a poster and talk. We will respond to applicants soon after the application deadline to let you know if you've been selected.

Bursary applications
Thanks to the kind support of our sponsors, we have a number of bursaries which will cover registration fees and two nights accommodation in student halls. Thanks to Thermo Fisher Scientific we have a limited number of bursaries which can also include travel costs. Bursaries are available for anyone who would benefit from help attending the conference in bursaries and therefore are not limited to early career researchers.
If you are interested please can you send a 300 word application to CCP-EM Events<mailto:ccpemevents at stfc.ac.uk> detailing your interest in attending the conference in person and why a bursary would help.
Bursary applications will close on the 11 February 2026 and we will inform you if you've been successful shortly thereafter.

The conference aims to provide a forum to highlight state-of-the-art developments in computational cryoEM and related themes, as well as showcasing outstanding recent biological applications. We aim to promote an inclusive, friendly atmosphere, welcoming those both old and new to the community. Topics include instrument technology, sample preparation, image processing, single particle reconstruction, tomography and model building.

The meeting includes the Diamond Light Source Biological Cryo-Imaging User Meeting for eBIC & B24 and the venue will also host the Karen M. Davies Memorial Symposium in memory of our dearly missed friend and colleague Karen.  Please register separately for the Memorial here:
