Instruct-ERIC Events

Registration will open in the New Year but please save the date for the 12th Annual CCP-EM Spring Symposium!

The conference aims to provide a forum to highlight state-of-the-art developments in computational cryoEM and related themes, as well as showcasing outstanding recent biological applications. We aim to promote an inclusive, friendly atmosphere, welcoming those both old and new to the community. Topics include instrument technology, sample preparation, image processing, single particle reconstruction, tomography and model building.

The meeting includes the Diamond Light Source Biological Cryo-Imaging User Meeting for eBIC & B24 and the venue will also host the Karen M. Davies Memorial Symposium in memory of our dearly missed friend and colleague Karen.  Please register separately for the Memorial here: 

It will be held as a hybrid meeting, with the physical event at the East Midlands Conference Centre (EMCC) in Nottingham, plus virtual access online via Zoom. The meeting is kindly sponsored by Dectris, SPT LabTech, SubAngstrom, Nuclera, Nanosoft and Thermo Fisher Scientific.   There help means bursaries will be available to attending the conference, full details will be provided when registration opens.
