Thanks to Prof Atsushi Nakagawa, pictures of that 1983 Computing School are now on the IUCr Computing Commission website at: http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/1983school/ Many "young" faces can be seen in the album. The album includes not only the School itself but also the excursion to Nara and the Institute for Protein Research at Osaka University. Information, including program and registration on the upcoming IUCr Crystallographic Computing School 2008 * Sharing our knowledge * Kyoto, Japan, August 18-23 - is available on the school webpage: http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/kyoto2008/ ------------- ----------------------- Lachlan M.

M?ller, Ansgar Philippsen, Herv? R?migy, ** Keynote lecture by Hartmut Oschkinat The course is primarily directed to PhD students and postdocs with some previous experience in the structural biology of membrane proteins or related fields wishing to learn more on 2D crystallization and EM/AFM observation technologies. A limited number of EU fellowships is available for the support of junior scientists attending this course. The course supported by the European Union Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses Program, as well as by the Swiss NCCR Structural Biology. In agreement with EU guidelines we would like to particularly encourage female scientists to participate and to apply for financial support. ** Interested candidates are encouraged to apply online on www.structuralbiology.uzh.ch/membranecourse2008.asp. Application deadline will be September 12, 2008. We will be able to accept 25 participants to this course. Best regards, Patrick Sticher P.S.
