The ASCB/EMBO 2017 Meeting will take place in Philadelphia, USA from 2-6 December 2017 in the Pennsylvania Convention Centre.
Registration is now open
Instruct-ERIC will be presenting on "New opportunities for researchers - Open Access to transnational research infrastructures in imaging, structural biology and compound screening" Sunday 3rd December from 11am - 12pm, in Room 122B.
Session DescriptionIn recent years, an increasing number of academic institutions are joining forces within pan-European research infrastructures to offer open access to their state-of-the art technology platforms in e.g. imaging, structural biology, compound screening. Here, three pan-European research infrastructures, Euro-BioImaging, Instruct and EU-OPENSCREEN, will present how international researchers can benefit from them to achieve their research goals.
Modern life science research often sees a dissociation between the researcher, who leads a scientific project, and the technology expert, who has the expertise to perform the required experiments. Often, an interdisciplinary approach as well as access to innovative technologies and services is needed. Our new research infrastructures aim to fill this gap and provide a solution to allow all scientists open access to the desired technologies and services.
