ECS8 – European Crystallographic School in Berlin, Germany


ECS8, the 2023 European Crystallographic School will take place in person from the 18th – 24th June.

The school will be held at the BESSY II electron storage ring, operated by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin.

The focus of the school will cover the various applications of X-ray crystallography to powders, small molecules, and proteins. It will cover the fundamentals of diffraction to the latest developments in the fields.

Topics will include:

  • Fundamentals of Crystallography
  • Single Crystal Diffraction
  • Powder Diffraction
  • Synchrotron Radiation in Crystallography
  • Macromolecular Crystallography
  • Applications of Crystallography

The school will be directed to undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and young scientists from different fields (biology, biochemistry, chemistry, material science, physics, etc.) who are eager to learn more about the possibilities of crystallography.

Fundamental lectures will be taught during the mornings. Afternoons will be dedicated to lectures on applications and hands-on tutorials.

Registration is now open until 28th February 2023.
