9 AM pacific / 12 PM eastern time

9:30AM-2PM EST

In this in-person symposium, you will learn:

• Discover how Cryo-EM is impacting and accelerating research from drug discovery to cell biology.Â
• Accessing Local Resources: Learn about the local resources available to support your Cryo-EM research and how to effectively utilize them.Â
• Cryo-EM in the state of Georgia: Hear from leading researchers in Georgia about their current projects and the impact of Cryo-EM on their work.

A preliminary bid prepared by Ivan Franko National University of Lviv and the Lviv Convention Bureau was discussed in 2019 during ECM33 in Vienna. However, in 2020, the entire world was paused by COVID-19. In 2021, during the XXV Congress and General Assembly of the International Union of Crystallography in Prague, the ECA Council accepted the bid from Lviv to host ECM35 in 2025. Unfortunately, in 2022, Russia began its war against Ukraine. During ECM33 in Versailles, the ECA Council confirmed Lviv as the hosting city of ECM35, but as the war continued, in 2023, the Polish Crystallographic Association and Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan offered their support. Ultimately, ECM35 will have a binary location: Lviv and Poznan.

Now, a few words about Poznan, the city where ECM35 will eventually take place. Poznan is an old and beautiful city, and one of the largest academic and research centers in Poland. It is also one of the oldest and most important cities in the country. It can be argued that this is the place where Poland, as a country, was born more than a thousand years ago. I truly hope you will have the time (the organizers will certainly ensure this) to visit the most important historical sites here.

So, we cordially invite you to participate in the 35th European Crystallographic Meeting, Lviv â€" Poznan, Ukraine â€" Poland. We are confident it will be a time of fruitful exchange of thoughts, new ideas, and new contacts, as well as an opportunity to get to know this very special and beautiful part of Poland and prepare to visit Lviv after the Victory.

The course is aimed at researchers who want to learn cryo-em at a deep level, it will combine theoretical lectures and practical image processing sessions using various software, both for single particle and tomography.

To be considered you should have some basic background and some previous/preliminary experience with cryo-em, and you should be in a position to benefit from the course and be able to ?spread the knowledge? as much as possible.
Registration deadline is the 25th April 2025.

Jointly organized conference by the Swiss, Austrian and German Societies for Electron Microscopy.

The University of Liverpool will be bestowing an Honorary doctorate to Dr Richard Henderson.  To mark this, a Celebratory symposium entitled “cryoEM revolution in structural biology’ has been organised at the University of Liverpool.Â

This one-day Symposium will bring speakers from the Universities of Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Imperial and Birkbeck as well as from the Crick Institute and Astex Pharmaceuticals.

Dr Henderson has received several prizes including the Gregori Aminoff prize for Crystallography from the Royal Swedish Academy (1999); Copley Medal from the Royal Society (2016); Gjonnes medal in electron crystallography from the International Union of Crystallography (2017), Nobel Prize for Chemistry (2017) and Companion of Honour (2018).

The seventh of the series practical hands-on course on sample preparation for single particle cryo-EM. It is aimed at PhDs, Postdocs and young scientists new to the field of single particle cryo-EM.
The course offers theoretical and practical aspects of sample preparation for single particle cryo-EM including the basics of grid screening and evaluation using Glacios and Krios microscopes.

Virtual only - 8-9:30am (PST).

Prof. Hong Zhou
Professor of Microbiology, Immun. & Mol. Genetics at UCLA, USA
Talk Title: CryoEM and infections: from viruses, malaria to mosquitos
 

Prof. Nigel Browning
Chair of Electron Microscopy in the School of Engineering at the University of Liverpool, UK
Talk Title: The Relativistic Ultrafast Electron Diffraction and Imaging (RUEDI) UK National Facility
We expect a large attendance, please register soon.

This semi-annual workshop will focus on practical aspects of single 
particle cryo-EM, including negative staining and cryo-sample 
preparation, screening, data collection, and analysis using the LBMS 
sample preparation room, electron microscopes, and GPU workstations.

To optimize interactions and hands-on experience, this workshop will be 
limited to 16 participants.

To provide more spaces on this course, this year we will host in-person participants at two venues (Diamond Light Source in Oxford and The Astbury Centre in Leeds) with lectures also being broadcast online via Zoom.

8-9:30am (PST), 04:00 PMÂ in London

Speakers: Prof. Michael Elbaum Professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel Talk Title: Cryo-STEM tomography in 2D, 3D, 4D and more

Prof. Lewys Jones Ussher Associate Professor in Ultramicroscopy at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Talk Title: Scanning Strategies and Lens Designs for the (S)TEM

We expect a large attendance, please register soon.

 At the XXV Congress and General Assembly of the International Union of Crystallography in Prague, it was decided that the 35th edition of the European Crystallographic Meeting would be held in Lviv, Ukraine, in 2025.

 Unfortunately, there is a war in Ukraine, and it is not reasonable to organize a great scientific event in Lviv in 2025. An alternative was thus elaborated where, thanks to a collaboration between the Ukrainian Crystallographic Committee and the Polish Crystallographic Association, the conference site will be Poznan, a city in neighbouring Poland.

8.00-9.30AM (PST) or 4-5.30 PMÂ (London) time
 
Speakers:

Prof. Jose Rodriguez: The promise and challenges of electron diffraction

Dr. Yu Han: Low-Dose Electron Microscopy Imaging of Highly Sensitive Crystalline Materials
