Instruct: Focus on Spain
Spain has been in close contact with Instruct since the early stages of the preparatory phase of this Infrastructure. Membership of Instruct with full rights came only with the signing of the International Consortium Agreement at the First Instruct Biennial Structural Biology Meeting in Heidelberg in May 2013. In the relative short period since the
Instruct call for Research and Development pilot projects is now open (June 6th – July 11th)
A maximum of 20,000€ per project will be awarded to support a limited number of pilot studies proposed by researchers from Instruct member countries (BE, CZ, DE, ES, FR, IL, IT, NL, PT, SE, UK). Projects should propose basic or applied research which is preliminary in nature. The intent of this support is to help
Electron Microscopy and X-ray Tomography Training Schools.Madrid, January 13th-17th
In the frame of three European projects, the Instruct ESFRI project on Structural Biology, the Biostruct-X project and the COST Action MP1207, the Instruct Image Processing Center at CNB-CSIC is planning training schools on 3D Reconstruction in Electron Microscopy and Soft X-ray Microscopy for January 2014. The course will focus on image processing topics, introducing
