BioXAS 2000 follows the BioXAS workshop, organised in February 1999 by ESRF. BioXAS 2000 concerns not only scientists with experience in the field, but also all those who have projects where XAS might be useful, or who are simply interested to know more about current developments. X-ray absorption has specific capabilities, which make it an important tool among available physical methods for structural biology. Due to progress in experimental, theoretical and computational methods, X-ray absorption can now be considered as a reliable technique. The development of third generation synchrotron radiation sources in Europe and new challenges such as structural genomics create opportunities for the expansion of the field.
 This workshop will hopefully strengthen European collaboration in biological XAS, including the implementation of a network.
