Time-resolved macromolecular serial crystallography has become increasingly accessible in recent years thanks to the availability of XFELs and dedicated synchrotron beamlines for serial crystallography, especially in Europe. This range of X-ray sources, as well as advances in sample delivery methods and data processing now allow time-resolved crystallography experiments over 15 orders of magnitude (from fs-s) which investigate the atomic details of the biochemical reactions that are crucial for life. The data we can now obtain provide the fundamental basis for next generation drug discovery, biotechnology, and medicine.
However, despite the widening availability of the needed infrastructure for these experiments, the successful design, execution, and analysis of time-resolved serial crystallography experiments requires in-depth understanding of a multi-disciplinary experimental setup and skills well beyond those taught in standard crystallographic training programmes. Therefore, to ensure that these emerging scientific possibilities are exploited efficiently, it is crucial to offer appropriate training to the next generation of scientists. This course aims to address exactly this gap, and follows a successful first edition in 2024; which happened in Grenoble. After attending this course, participants will be able to design and successfully perform time-resolved serial crystallography experiments relevant for their own scientific projects.
“The course clarified several scientific gaps in the serial crystallography field. I feel much more confident and secure to design experiments and discuss the technique requirements.” – Hevila Brognaro, University of Hamburg, Germany
Sponsorship opportunities
We offer a variety of event sponsoring possibilities, with the flexibility to select a set sponsorship package or combine individual sponsorship options to suit your event budget. Discounts are available for companies sponsoring multiple events at EMBL Heidelberg. View other conferences, or contact sponsorship@embl.org. for further information.

EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials. One current scam campaign of which we are aware is conducted using the name ‘Judy Eastman’ (judy@gopcontact.a2hosted.com) and entails approaches to sponsors offering sponsorship opportunities on EMBL’s behalf. Please be kindly advised that all relevant communication regarding sponsorship of EMBL conferences, symposia and courses is handled by EMBL directly and is sent from an official EMBL account. EMBL does not work with any external providers on sponsorship acquisition.
Please also note that:
Suspicious communications purportedly from, for or on behalf of EMBL should be reported to EMBL at the following email address sponsoring@embl.de.
