Crystallographic Teaching Schools
(Requires further updating by JKC)
BCA Schools
The BCA organises two 'summer schools'; one in X-Ray structural analysis,
mainly for smaller molecules in 'odd' numbered years and the other in
protein crystallography in the next year. The two schools have a rather
different sontent, because we thought that the biologists would be bored by
the greater mathematical content of the CCG school, and the chemists bored
by the lectures on how to persuade your protein to crystallise. More
specialised courses are organised for their members by the individual
groups of the BCA, for further information see the BCA groups pages. Members
also attend CCLRC courses in specialised techniques of synchrontron
radiation and neutron scattering. Information about these can be found on
CLRC pages, advance notices are listed in
our other meetings list.
- Chemical Crystallography Group (CCG)
These have been held at 2 yearly intervals since 1987.
The 1st five were held in Aston University, organised by David Watkin
(Oxford University). Phil Lowe was the local organiser, with Judith Howard
treasurer, and Bill Clegg, Peter Main and Bob Gould on the program
committee. The 6th moved to Durham, where the 7th is to be held in 1999.

- Biological Sytructures Grop (BSG) - protein crystallography
These are held at two yearly intervals, in the 'even' numbered years.
The first 3 were held in Oxford, organised by Margaret Adams, starting in
1990. The 4th and 5th were held in Bath organised by Gary Taylor. Starting
in 1999 the schools are to be held annually, in Scotland one year and in
souther England the next.
