This year’s Symposium on Structural Proteomics revives the series of annual symposiums in this field. It was started by Christoph H. Borchers and Evgeniy Petrotchenko 11 years ago in Banff, AB, Canada, with a handful of participants, but in the previous Symposium in 2019 (in 2020, it was canceled due to pandemic) in Goettingen, Germany, around three hundred people took part in it. This year a lot of speakers and participants were glad to take part in the Symposium again and discuss scientific questions with the colleagues.
