Students could be at any level from advanced undergraduate to full professor. 48 students will be accepted; 24 will bring their own specimens for data collection. Please read the course description at http://www.px.nsls.bnl.gov/RapiData2008/. You'll see that many experts in the field will be available for lectures and tutorials, and you'll find the application materials at this site. For the sixth time we will hold a short lecture course on the fundamentals of crystallography for roughly five hours on Sunday 6 April. The body of the RapiData course really requires that students have a healthy knowledge of crystallography. For potential students who have some experience but are shaky about fundamentals, this course will help. There will be a small additional fee for the fundamentals course, to pay for Saturday night accomodations and food on Sunday morning and noon. Latin American Scientists: Several scholarships are available, from the International Union of Crystallography, to pay partial travel and subsistence costs for Latin-American students and junior faculty. Please apply for the course, and then contact R. Sweet (sweet@bnl.gov) if you are interested in applying for a scholarship. In accordance with the standards of the International Union of Crystallography, we observe the basic policy of non-discrimination, affirming the right and freedom of scientists to associate in international scientific activity without regard to such factors as citizenship, religion, creed, political stance, ethnic origin, race, colour, language, age, or gender, in accordance with the Statutes of the International Council for Science. At this course no barriers will exist beyond the application procedure that would prevent the participation of bona fide scientists. ========================================================================= Robert M.

L. Spek (Utrecht University, Netherlands) R. Grosse-Kunstleve (LBNL, USA) M. Yao (Hokkaido University, Japan) A. Nakagawa (Osaka University, Japan) H. Powell (MRC, UK) L. Cranswick (NRC, Canada) The Kyoto Crystallographic Computing School aims to bring together developers and users interested in looking beyond the interface. The school is structured to foster the exchange of ideas via formal lectures, afternoon tutorials, coding challenges and code comparison sessions. During the first conference on crystallographic computing held at the Pennsylvania State College, USA in April 1950, Ray Pepinsky's introduction noted that solving the major computing problems would "require many minds. Our aim here is to share what we know - to cross-pollinate our minds." Currently, there is a wide range of crystallographic software under development, including larger community projects such as Clipper/CCP4, CCTBX/Phenix, DANSE, and Age Concern. These do not only develop new methods, but also harvest the knowledge of previous generations. The Kyoto Crystallographic Computing School invites the extended community to an intensive session of working together and learning from each other.
