It is a great pleasure to announce the return of the CCP4-BCA Summer School on macromolecular crystallography and associated techniques. Running for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, the school aims to bring together early-career scientists from the UK, Europe and beyond and train them in the latest advances in structural biology, with a primary focus on macromolecular crystallography. The school, which was formerly run at the University of St. Andrews for many years, has trained hundreds of crystallographers while also providing them with unforgettable collective memories. The York team aims to capture and continue the essence and tradition of the school, blending it with the best the City of York has to offer.

All aspects of structure solution will be covered during the workshop, from data collection through to phasing, refinement, validation and deposition.

• Lectures and tutorials will be delivered by experts in the field, sometimes even software authors themselves!
• An exciting social programme will showcase some of the best the historical City of York can offer – and in summer.
• You will be able to work alongside world-leading scientists and methods developers on your own projects.

The school will be based at The University of York’s Campus West, with lectures in the main Biology building, workshops in a PC room in James College and accommodation in Vanbrugh College.
