The CCP4-BCA Protein Crystallography Summer School is intended for students and researchers relatively new to crystallography. Its dual aims are to provide comprehensive training in crystallography and to promote best practise through a combination of lectures and hands-on tutorials. Lectures will cover the range of techniques required for a protein structure solution, from protein expression through to structure validation. Intensively supervised computer tutorials will enable students to translate the theory presented in the lectures into practice. There will also be a crystal manipulation and cryo-cooling workshop.

The school will begin with a welcome event on the evening of Sunday 6^th September and finish on the evening of Friday 11^th September, with the students departing the following morning.

There will be ample opportunities for students to network with each other and the tutors during breaks and at a number of social events throughout the week. Students may bring their own data to the course to work on with assistance of the various tutors.

Application deadline: 19th June 2026
