Improving the Data Quality and Quantity for XAFS Experiments
8-9 December 2011
Photon Factory, KEK, Tsukuba, Japan
The Q2XAFS2011 international workshop organised by the IUCr XAFS Commission, IUCr SR Commission and International X-ray Absorption Society (originally scheduled for 12-13 April 2011) will aim to establish experimental protocols for XAFS measurements and the standardisation of XAS set-ups, including biological applications. Newly developed XAFS beamlines and future prospects will also be discussed. Young investigators will benefit from a dedicated presentation session and on-site training for data analysis.

Present and Future Methods for Biomolecular Crystallography
31 May - 10 June 2012
Ettore Majorana Centre, Erice Italy
X-ray crystallography is the pre-eminent technique for obtaining 3D structures of macromolecules at the level of individual atoms. This course will help to equip the next generation of scientists with a deep understanding of the tools they need to solve challenging structural projects and an appreciation for what the future holds.
