The students made a great contribution to the success of the School presenting a total of 51 posters. Poster sessions rounded out each of the days and proved to be a very valuable time in order to discuss the scientific work. Student teams from Spain, Germany, Japan and Czech Republic were honoured by an international panel of lecturers, who decided to award 5 prizes for the best poster presentations. These prizes consisted of two volumes of the International Tables of Crystallography offered by the IUCr, Bernhard Rupp’s book titled “Biomolecular Crystallography: Principles, Practice, and Application to Structural Biology “and two DVDs produced by CNRS and ARN titled “Diving into the heart of the molecules of life” offered by the Crystallization Factory.
