Crystallization is the major bottleneck to 3D structure determination using X-ray crystallography. In this workshop we will discuss many tenets of successful crystallization for both conventional and serial crystallography. Many topics will be covered including fundamentals of crystal growth, strategies to sample crystallization space, identifying crystal hits, electron microscopy applications of crystal analysis, practical considerations for data analysis, difficult crystallization problems, virus crystallography, and an overview of serial crystallography.

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.

Video presentations from the 2015 Single Particle Imaging Workshop, held at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee on September 29th, are now available online.
