We are proud to announce the CCP-EM / Diamond 2026 Icknield Workshop. This course is largely aimed at structural biologists (PhDs, Post-docs, research staff or PI) with EM maps suitable for model building and refinement. This course will cover all aspects of model building including: map optimisation, automated model building, model fitting, medium resolution refinement, high resolution refinement, interactive refinement, validation and deposition.

The course will be held at the RAL / Diamond campus, Harwell, UK, site of the eBIC national facility.  Registration fee is £345.00 and accommodation at The Bear Hotel, Wantage, can be booked separately as part of the registration process at £122.50 per night. Delegates are asked to meet their own travel costs.

The course is limited to 20 in-person delegates which will be selected from all applicants.  A maximum of 40 applicants can register interest. 

CCP-EM can offer a limited number of bursaries to cover £200.00 of registration fees. If you would like to apply for a bursary, please do so on the 'application questions' page of the registration form, detailing your motivation for attending the workshop and why a bursary would help.

Application for the workshop will close either when all registration places are taken or by 26/08/2026 and the 20 successful applicants will be informed within a few weeks. If you are no longer able to attend, please inform us as soon as possible so your place can be allocated to another applicant. The deadline for cancellation, to receive a full refund, is 01/10/2027.
