Crystallographic Computing School
August 18-23, 2005
Siena, Italy

School organizers:
A. Spek, M. Mellini, A. Gualtieri, H. Powell and L. Cranswick

School consultants:
D. Watkin and S. Parsons

A school of Crystallographic Computing will be organized in the Certosa di Pontignano, in the environs of Siena, a magnificent historical town in Tuscany which is located at one hour driving south of Florence. A most generous support to the school is provided by the University of Siena, which owns the facilities. Even with a high ratio of speakers to students, the registration and accommodation costs are kept at a reasonable low level. The organisation will provide transportation to the XX IUCr Congress in Florence which starts just when the school is over.
