This year the CCP4 Study Weekend will be held as a hybrid event from the 7th – 9th January, enabling people to choose whether to attend in-person or virtually.
The event will be run over 3 days. Day 1 will encompass the Diamond MX User Meeting starting at 11am. The main Study Weekend will then begin with a Keynote talk followed by a discussion panel talking and engaging with the audience with the topic “xxxx”. The subsequent 2 days will follow the usual format with 3 sessions each day. Old favourites like “What’s New in CCP4?” and “Lunchtime Bytes” will also appear each day (see programme for more details).
A poster session will also be taking place this year on the evening of the first day allowing students to present their research to the wider crystallographic community.
***2025 will also see the return of the last year’s ceilidh band “Knitter’s Jig” after the conference dinner on day 2 for all those who want to join in********
In keeping with previous CCP4 meetings, the lectures will focus on the presentation and discussion of a variety of methods and techniques developed and used by the leaders in the field.
This year, the topic for the Study Weekend is “Using software, AI and other methods to advance crystallographic models“.
