***Dear CCP4ers,
*
*Just a reminder for the exciting 2014 BCA-BSG Winter Meeting which is
taking place exceptionally at the European Photon and Neutron (EPN)
Campus (hosting the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility and the
Institute Laue Langevin), Grenoble, France on 15-17 **December 2014.
*The meeting will be themed around opportunities for Structural Biology
at large-scale research infrastructure and will include sessions
addressing the combination of structural information from X-rays &
neutrons in Structural Biology, Structural Biology on the EPN Campus,
and Emerging Techniques in Structural Biology.
Registration is here

*The deadline for registration is the 8**December.*
*The programme includes a poster session. Contributions from younger and
more senior scientists on any aspect of Structural Biology are actively
encouraged.*
In order to help reduce the costs of attending the meeting, the
registration fee (32EUR for students; 64EUR for regular participants)
will include the cost of all meals during the meeting, including the
meeting dinner on 16 December and as many participants as possible will
be housed - at participants' own cost - in the cost effective ESRF/ILL
Guesthouse. The registration fee also includes membership of the BCA for
the year 2015.
*Five Travel Bursaries, each of up to £200, are available from the BCA
to support participation in the meeting by research students and
postdoctoral workers who are BCA members.* Please see

looking forward to seeing you over in Grenoble!
Gordon Leonard, Trevor Forsyth and Ed Mitchell.
