Organizers: D. Svergun M. Petoukhov P. Konarev M. Roessle The web-based application procedure ended on August, 1st, 2006. The selection of candidates took place on August, 21st, 2006. The course aims at young biochemists/biophysicists and researchers active in related structural methods (protein crystallography, NMR, electron microscopy) with little or no experience in solution scattering. The course will cover basics of SAXS/SANS, instrumentation, data collection, modelling techniques and complementary use with other methods. The students will be encouraged to bring their own samples to perform synchrotron scattering experiments on-site and the results will be used for practical tutorials and discussed on the last day of the course. There is no registration fee and accommodation and subsistence are covered for accepted applicants. Scientists from industry will be required to pay a fee of Euro 1500 direct to EMBO. A limited number of bursaries will be available towards covering travel costs and will be awarded competitively. This EMBO course is also supported by an EU Design Study SAXIER.
