The 8th International School on Crystallography and X â€" Ray Diffraction will be held at the University of Havana, in November of 2011. The Commission on "Crystallographic Teaching" of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) has granted sponsorship and financial support to the Institute of Sciences and Technology of Material at the University of the Havana for November 2011. This edition will address the subject of experiments at Synchrotron Light Sources.

The school oriented to students from all over the world and especially, to those from the region where it takes place, has had as objective since the first edition to join the community of crystallographers around a common subject and to promote the postgraduate studies on this field of the sciences. The event has already been recognized as official school of one of the IUCr commissions mentioned before.Â

Increased Synchrotron Light facilities in the world has allowed the access to these facility to a growing number of researchers from different scientific fields. In our geographical region, the Laboratorio Nacional de Luz Sincrotron (LNLS) in Campinas, Brazil has become an alternative to the scientific research in many countries.

The possibility of using electromagnetic radiation in a wide range of wavelengths, particularly in the range corresponding to hard and soft X - Rays, using both diffraction and absorption techniques, make this facility a very versatile tool. Â

Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biotechnology, etc.. are just some examples of different scientific branches which have found in the use of synchrotron light sources the solution for many of their experimental limitations in research.

At the last users meeting held at the LNLS in early 2010, it was shown that in addition to Brazil, the countries of the region that make use of this facility is still limited to a very small number, namely, Argentina, Uruguay, Cuba and Mexico. From this experience, it is necessary to focus our efforts on increasing the number of scientists in our area that can make use of these tools in their research.Â

We believe that the next school may be an adequate space for specialists in this field in order to transmit the basic operating principles and capabilities of such facilities.

Headquarter Ciudad de La Habana

San Cristóbal of Havana, founded in 1519 by the Spanish conquerors, was at the very beginnings a forgotten city of the vast Spanish empire, until its strategic location in the means of the Gulf of Mexico, made it the most important port of the New World. Their colonial architecture, considered by the UNESCO as patrimony of the humanity, shows a variety of styles from the Baroque, the rococó, the art nouveau, the art deco, until Moorish influences; but their distinctive sign is the eclecticism in which varied styles mix.
Called by one of their most famous writers, Alejo Carpentier, as the City of the columns, Havana grew from its original enclosure to become a city of two millions citizens, without losing its original beauty and its eclectic distinctive stamp. Valued by another big one of the letters, Ernest Hemingway, like one of the three more beautiful cities in the world, Havana with its malecón and their walks continues surprising with their charms.

The School and Workshop aim to celebrate the 100 years of X-Ray Diffraction and to provide a forum for exchange of knowledge in the fields of crystallography in order to get the latest developments in structure determination of biological and non-biological molecules. During this occasion, the history and developments of Crystallography in Egypt and North Africa will be reviewed. Single crystal and powder techniques will be considered using conventional Sealed Tube and non-conventional Synchrotron Radiation. Advanced applications of different techniques such as Small Angle Scattering as well as Raman and IR spectroscopy in characterizations of materials will be also covered. Hand-on computer training on the latest developed programs in the field will be also available.

MaThCryst Workshop on Mathematical Crystallography

Manila, 2-6 November 2011
Mathematical crystallography in the previous century dealt primarily with the theory of space groups. However, advances in materials science during the past decades have broadened the horizons of mathematical crystallography. Recent works delve into higher-dimensional crystallography, non-Euclidean spaces, and aperiodic structures, and involve a wide array of mathematical tools such as topology, discrete geometry, graph theory, and harmonic analysis. The goal of this workshop was to give a firm introduction on current topics in mathematical crystallography and its applications. In particular, the geometry of periodic and crystalline networks, color symmetry, coincident site lattices, twinning in crystals, mathematical diffraction theory, and crystal GAP shall be discussed. The workshop was intended for young scientists (graduate students and post-doctoral associates) and researchers in mathematics, materials science, structural chemistry, solid state and condensed matter physics. Exposure to research opportunities in mathematical crystallography, a heightened awareness of scientists in the Philippines and the Asia-Pacific region on the relevance of mathematical crystallography in their respective researches, and collaborations between researchers in mathematical crystallography and experimentalists were among the expected outcomes from this workshop.

Crystal structure prediction using the USPEX code

October 22, 2012 to October 26, 2012 Location : CECAM-HQ-EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland

Organisers

• Andriy Lyakhov (SUNY Stony Brook, USA)
• Gilles Frapper (University of Poitiers, France)
• Artem Oganov (SUNY Stony Brook, USA)
• Mario Valle (Swiss National Supercomputing Centre, Switzerland)

Description

Crystal structure prediction has long remained a major unsolved problem in physical sciences [1]. A number of approaches have been formulated over years - most of these are summarized in the recent book [2]. Crystal structure prediction is a powerful tool for designing new materials "in silico", thus replacing the traditional Edisonian trial-and-error approach with design by artificial intelligence. It is also a major instrument for discovering new phenomena at extreme conditions. Crystal structure prediction should thus be an everyday tool at the hands of nearly every computational materials scientist.Â

A major advance in this field happened with the development of the evolutionary algorithm USPEX for crystal structure prediction [3], which has led to a number of important findings [4-6]. This proved to be a very efficient and reliable method, and the USPEX code, based on it and freely distributed to academic scientists, is currently used by over 500 researchers worldwide and this number grows rapidly. We should note that in addition to the evolutionary structure prediction, USPEX code features many other techniques, such as random sampling, metadynamics, minima hopping, particle swarm optimization - all of which can be used in real applications or tested against one another. Thus, familiarity with this code will imply a solid background in other structure prediction techniques. USPEX is the widest used crystal structure prediction code and there is a need to train new users through hands-on tutorials and workshops. One such workshop was organized in Poitiers, France (June 2011) and proved to be a great success. Another workshop will take place in Xi'an, China (August 2011). Through a regular series of such pedagogical events we want to train a new generation of users and developers of crystal structure prediction techniques.
Our program will consist of theory lectures, hands-on tutorial sessions, and round table discussions. Morning theory lectures will focus on the nature of the crystal structure prediction problem, various ways to address it (in particular evolutionary algorithms), theory of energy landscapes, applications of crystal structure prediction, problems related to low-dimensional systems. Afternoon tutorials will give each participant to tackle a real research project, and special attention will be paid to the tools for data analysis and visualization.

The sixth BioCrys course will be focused on Macromolecular Crystallography, by developing the fundamental concepts of Crystallography and illustrate these by tutorial and practical sessions.
 This is particularly important due to the rapid development of the field and also due to the fact that many young researchers do not receive a formal education in Crystallography. Additionally, with the introduction of high-throughput methods, the need to understand and grasp the theory behind modern methods will certainly be critical to overcome the difficult problems that will arise and will not be solved by the automated procedures.
Topics of the course will run from fundamentals such as symmetry, point groups and crystal systems, basic diffraction physics, reciprocal space and the Ewalds sphere, radiation damage, data processing, symmetry in the diffraction pattern, structure factors, Patterson function to modern methodologies including molecular replacement, SAD, MAD, MIR and maximum likelihood phasing, direct methods, density modification, refinement, model building, twinning and structure validation. Main challenges on sample preparation and crystallization of proteins will also be covered.
The course will be organized with lectures in the mornings and interactive practicals and tutorials in the afternoons. Evening lectures will address two main important topics within Structural Biology, one covering studies of membrane proteins and the other the beginning of use of free electron lasers in macromolecular Crystallography.
Participants will be limited to 36, aimed primarily at people at the beginning of their crystallographic research activity as PhD students or others. Selected applicants are invited to present a poster during the course.
