future directions
specific ways of cooperation, sharing of programmes specific workshop, visits to speficic labs, access to particular resources
regional cooperation
what are the technical means and is there access to synchrotrons ?
is there an itnerested community supporting you, in molecular biology, biotechnology, pharmacology, industry ?
teaching of protein crystallography at graduate or post-graduate level
