2 Day - Online - Workshop:
“Data Quality Evaluation in Diffraction Experiments"


27th of November and 11th of December 2025
at 14:00 CET

Keywords

Are you passionate about advancing data quality in crystallography? Join our interactive online workshop designed for scientists, crystallographic software developers, instrument manufacturers, and all professionals dedicated to excellence in crystallographic research. While the primary focus will be on single-crystal diffraction experiments, the concepts discussed are broadly applicable across related fields. This workshop aims to deepen your expertise in evaluating and improving data quality, with a special emphasis on detecting and addressing systematic errors—an essential step for:

  • Challenging misconceptions in data quality assessment

  • Increasing data accuracy and reliability

  • Optimizing detector performance

  • Developing advanced correction methods (e.g., for absorption and extinction)

  • Critically reviewing and self-assessing progress

  • Identifying new opportunities for advancement

  • Maximizing experimental setup efficiency

  • Enhancing crystallographic software

  • Debugging and refining software tools

Limited Seats:
To maintain the atmosphere of a small group that allows for in-depth discussions, the number of participants is strictly limited to 15 (first come, first served).

 

Program Day 1 (27th of November 2025)

Agenda: background knowledge and example applications. New (and established) metrics, statistical methods, 
misconceptions in application of metrics, pitfalls, “rewarding errors” and confused thinking, error profiling.
 

Program Day 2 (11th of December 2025)

Agenda: Data sets from participants are analysed and discussed in greater detail

The workshop will be held in English 

Early Bird: Register until 13th of November: 199 €

Regular Price: From 14th of November: 249 €

Competition Rules:

  • Only own data sets are allowed to be submitted (the submitting person must be the author or co-author of the paper with the data. Please do NOT send data files, but only links to publications).

  • Only published data sets are allowed (for transparency and clarity). The published data set must include Icalc and s.u.(Iobs).

  • Only one data set per participant.

  • Only molecular crystals (no macromolecules, alloys, minerals, etc.).

  • The number of observed reflections needs to exceed 1000 (for statistical approaches to work well).

  • Data sets must be submitted after registration and before the workshop starts.

  • A coupon worth 200 € for the next workshop is awarded for the best data set (according to criteria presented in the first part of the competition) or for the most illustrative data set (best for group learning). This corresponds to a complete refund.

  • The final decision regarding the winner is ours; however, a coin toss or participant voting may be used to decide in case of a tie.

  • Refund competition only applies if more than 5 data sets are submitted.

  • Submission of a data set is voluntary but encouraged, making the workshop more interesting and providing eligibility for the coupon only if you participate.

The workshop will be held in English
