CCP-EM is a partner in the Instruct Computational Centre (CCISB).

The Collaborative Computational Project for electron cryo-microscopy (CCP-EM) supports users and developers in biological EM. The three principal aims are:

Build a UK community for computational aspects of cryo-EM. Provide a focus for the cryo-EM community to interact withCCP4/CCPBioSim/CCPN, and the broader international community.
Support the users of software for cryo-EM through dissemination of information on available software, and directed training.
Support for software developers including porting, testing, and distribution of software.

CCP-EM has been supported by the MRC since 2012 through a series of Partnership Grants.

There is a mailing list for CCP-EM (supported by JISCMail). The home page for the list is athttps://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCPEM.

You can also search the CCP-EM archive from here. Note that you must be subscribed in order to send messages to the list, and the list is PUBLIC, meaning that the archives can be accessed by anyone, and are indexed by search engines.

Support for collaborative software development projects.

CCP-EM are keen to support small collaborative software development projects that are of benefit to the wider community and which produce or improve software that can be distributed through the CCP-EM software suite. We can potentially fund / co-fund developer effort in your institution using income arising from licensing of the suite to for-profit organisations. Projects are typically 3 to 6 months in duration, or longer if co-funding is available. We may be able to support studentships or events, provided there is a tangible benefit to the CCP-EM community.
