This year DESY held the Second International Summer School of Crystallography. The keynote speaker Prof. Carmelo Giacovazzo spoke about the basics of crystallography, covering mathematical understanding of crystallographic point and space groups, diffraction experiments, structure factor calculations, systematic absences, determination of space groups and many additional topics.

Other speakers on advanced methods in protein crystallography included: Prof. Henry Chapman (CFEL / DESY, University of Hamburg), Prof. Arwen Pearson (CUI, University of Hamburg), Dr. Gleb Bourenkov (EMBL Hamburg) and Dr. Thomas White (CFEL / DESY). We had the opportunity to record most of the sessions on tape. The recordings of the lectures can be both viewed and downloaded through:
