ALTERNATE COORDINATORS:
A scheme will be maintained with one coordinator per country (outside the general coordinator), designated together with the general coordinator by the council.

A recap of the last two days of collaborative work 💪
We shared experiences from the last 3 years and explored future opportunities. In 2025, the coordination will move to Uruguay and we’re already planning how to strengthen structural biology across the region.
