23-25th of October 2026
The aim of this meeting is to promote and support research and education in the fields of crystallography in Greece. The forthcoming conference will include plenaries dedicated to recent advances in biological NMR, CryoEM, synchrotrons, biophysical, spectroscopic methods and other related techniques for the study of materials, inorganics, small organics and biomacromolecules, emphasizing the progress of structural sciences in recent years.

Olex 2 Workshop
Olex 2 Workshop
Olex2 is an integrated software package for the solution, refinement, and analysis of small-molecule crystal structures from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. It provides a user-friendly graphical interface that combines structure solution tools, refinement engines (such as SHELXL), visualization, validation, and publication-ready output within a single environment. Olex2 is widely used in chemical crystallography for efficient structure determination and refinement workflows. Hosted by Dr. Horst Puschmann, one of the founding members of OlexSys and has been involved in Olex2 development right from the start.

Cryo-electron microscopy methods and applications
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a high-resolution structural biology technique that enables the determination of biomolecular structures in near-native, vitrified states without the need for crystallization. The workshop will introduce core concepts of cryo-EM sample preparation, data acquisition, and image processing, with an emphasis on modern single-particle analysis workflows. It will also highlight the newly established cryo-EM facilities of the National Hellenic Research Foundation (NHRF), showcasing available instrumentation and infrastructure that support cutting-edge structural biology research in Greece. Hosted by Prof. Panagiotis Kastritis' team.
