Dear 3DEM Community,

Following up on my earlier emails to the forum, here's a quick update from
the PractiCloud team.

PractiCloud was built on Microsoft Azure from the ground up, and we've now
completed integration and testing on the platform. So far, we've tested our
in-house-developed and open-source RELION web interface and nextPYP using
education- and training-scale datasets, in line with how we're positioning
the platform in the future.

PractiCloud's primary focus is on becoming an e-learning platform — built
for students and researchers who want to learn pipelines on small,
tutorial-scale data without setting up a local HPC environment. This
environment is well-suited for small institutes that want to give demos and
hands-on training to their students. More modules will keep rolling out
over the coming releases.

In parallel, we're hosting a workshop on the fundamentals of structural
biology on 8th June. A good number of participants have already registered
and will see PractiCloud demos live during the sessions.

If you'd like to attend: Register here:
