ESUM98 - EUROPEAN SMART USERS MEETING 1998 - ESUM98
 
First Announcement
 
Call for Pre-Registration and Oral Presentations
 
A BRUKER/AXS SMART users meeting will be held in Bergen, Norway,
September 11-13, 1998.
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
To strengthen, deepen and propagate the accumulated, but dispersed,
knowledge and experience of the use of SMART-CCD-systems. To explore
new scientific possibilities and applications. Accordingly, active
parttaking from the participants will be given high priority as will
ad hoc discussions.
 
Key topics related to the use of SMART systems will be addressed.
Examples of topics without order of precedence:
 
Data collection strategies 
Macromolecular crystallography 
Synchrotron applications 
High accuracy measurements - Charge density studies
Twinned crystals 
Diffuse scattering studies 
Optimising integration & data reduction procedures 
None single crystal applications such as
powders and others 
Technical and software issues/problems
 
Bruker/AXS representatives will of course be present,including Chuck
Campana from Madison. Also, George Sheldrick, Alan Pinkerton, �ke
Kvick, among several other scientists representing particular fields
of interest, will be presenting talks.
 
DATE:
 
In order to facilitate attendance and minimise travel costs, the
meeting will take place on the weekend of September 11-13th 1998. We
expect participants to arrive noontime on Friday 11th. The meeting
will open on Friday afternoon and close on Sunday afternoon.
 
WE INVITE:
 
- All users of SMART systems in Europe. 
- SMART users from other parts of the world are of course welcome too! 
- Potential buyers of CCD-based diffractometers.
 
PRE-REGISTRATION: IMPORTANT!
 
In order to quickly establish the approximate number of participants,
we PLEAD you to pre-register AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The number of
participants WILL be limited. Comments on field(s) of interest is
encouraged. General suggestions are also welcomed.
 
Email your pre-registration to karl.tornroos@kj.uib.no or send a
telefax to the number indicated at the end of this document.
 
INVITATION TO GIVE ORAL PRESENTATION:
 
We encourage participants to contribute with an oral presentation
(15-45 minutes) pertinent to the use of SMART instrumentation or
connected topics. If you would like to give a presentation, please
indicate this. If possible, give tentative title and/or area of
interest (e.g. "macromolecular structure determination"). We will try
to push the deadline of final talk-titles as close to the meeting as
possible. No specific postersession is planned. However, posters may
be presented. If you would like to do so - inform us.
 
WEB-PAGE:
 
A Web-page containing further information on this meeting will be set
up. News on this will follow later.
 
COST:
 
Not known at present. Nevertheless, we will do all we can to keep
this at a minimum. Information will follow later on the Web page.
 
TRAVELLING TO BERGEN:
 
Bergen airport has international direct connections to Amsterdam,
Copenhagen, Helsinki, London, Manchester, Newcastle and Stockholm.
Domestic flights are abundant, e.g. Oslo is served hourly. The train
ride from Oslo is particularly scenic (7 h). Direct car-ferry links to
Bergen are available from Denmark (Hanstholm 16.5 h.) and from the U.K.
(Newcastle 22 h). Bergen is also the starting point of the famous
cruise "Hurtigruten" along the Norwegian coast ending in the (very)
northern town of Kirkenes, for those that contemplate adding some
vacation to their stay.
 
So, be SMART, be there!
 
On behalf of the organisers,
 
Karl Wilhelm T�rnroos
