Ruslan Sanishvili
Ruslan Sanishvili (Nukri) has over 30 years of experience in macromolecular crystallography. He spent the majority of this time at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) of Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). First, he was an active member of the team commissioning the Structural Biology Center beamlines in sector 19 of the APS, and supporting its users. He was part of the initial phase of structural genomics as a member of MCSG. Then he moved to the GMCA beamlines in sector 23 to join the effort from the beamline design stage and worked through construction, commissioning and user operations. Nukri trained and assisted countless number of users of the SBC and GMCA beamlines. He was and still is most interested in methods development for the experimentation in MX data collection, as well as in structure-function relationships in proteins. Since 2008, Nukri has dedicated considerable effort to crystallographic education outreach. Together with CCP4 members, he founded and organized the crystallographic workshop “CCP4/APS School in Macromolecular Crystallography: From Data Collection to Structure Refinement and Beyond” for 12 years. In 2019, Nukri and Dr. Leela Ruckthong of the King Mongkutt’s University, Thonburi (Bangkok, Thailand), with the support from the university management and assistance from CCP4, founded the SouthEast Asian Crystallographic Overview And Systematic Training (SEA COAST).
Nukri’s nearest plans include expansion of the SEA COAST, and initiating and/or helping organize crystallographic training in several other countries.

IUPAP Support for Free Circulation of Scientists / Policy on Harassment
The CCP4 2020 workshop supports the International Union of Pure and Applied Physicists (IUPAP) Policy on Free Circulation of Scientists and the IUPAP policy statement on harassment at conferences.
Free Circulation of Scientists: The principle of the Universality of Science is fundamental to scientific progress. This principle embodies freedom of movement, association, expression and communication for scientists, as well as equitable access to data, information and research materials. In pursuing its objectives with respect to the rights and responsibilities of scientists, the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) actively upholds this principle, and, in so doing, opposes any discrimination on the basis of such factors as ethnic origin, religion, citizenship, language, political stance, gender, or age. IUPAP should only sponsor conferences and events at institutions and in countries that uphold this principle. If scientists are excluded from attending IUPAP-sponsored international conferences by a host institution or country on the basis of any of these factors, IUPAP should register its concern at the highest level of that institution or country, and should not sponsor any future events in that country until such exclusions have been eliminated. [ Section 1. (http://iupap.org/sponsored-conferences/conference-policies/)]
Harrassment at Conferences: It is the policy of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) that all participants in Union, and Union-endorsed activities will enjoy an environment which encourages the free expression and exchange of scientific ideas, and is free from all forms of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. The conference organisers will name an advisor who will consult with those who have suffered from harassment and who will suggest ways of redressing their problems, and an advisor who will counsel those accused of harassment. The conference organisers may, after due consideration, take such action they deem appropriate, including warning or expulsion from the conference without refund.

Gender balance and the IUCr
The International Union of Crystallography strives to achieve gender balance in all its institutions and activities bearing in mind other diversity needs and its existing obligations to geographic and academic discipline representation where appropriate. To achieve this aim the IUCr will adopt procedures to promote gender balance in respect of all of its activities including selection of candidates for positions on its Committees and Commissions. Those seeking support from the Union for Congresses, meetings, workshops and schools will also have to demonstrate their efforts to address gender balance.
