2017 Spring Symposium III

2017 Spring Symposium III

The third CCP-EM Spring Symposium was held at RAL/Diamond on the Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire, UK on April 24-26th 2017, and included the inaugural symposium of eBIC, the UK national cryoEM centre at Diamond Light Source.

The proceedings are available in a special issue of Acta Crystallographica D.

Videos of most of the talks can now be found on YouTube.
