Fourth Instruct International Call 

22-Apr-2024

Instruct-ERIC is launching its Fourth International Call for global structural biology researchers.

 

This call is open to staff from all Instruct Centres and from institutions holding a Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) with Instruct-ERIC or are in the process to sign an agreement in the next 12 months. The call is intended to nurture seed interactions that could develop into stronger collaborations as exchanges proceed.

This is the first Instruct International Call in which structural biology researchers can visit institutions in Latin America, and vice versa.

 

Applications will open 15 May 2024. The call will close 2 August 2024.

 

In the last few years, Instruct-ERIC has strengthened its international collaboration though activities with different institutions that are formalised though MoUs. These agreements open possibilities for joint actions, such as training, development of best practices, strategies for open access and infrastructure access. 

In this call, funding is available to support up to six exchanges. Successful projects will receive up to €5000 to cover travel, accommodation and other direct costs for their exchange.

For more information about the range of services available at Instruct Centres via this call please visit the Instruct catalogue. To apply you must belong to one of the institutions listed below and upload an application online. If your institution is not listed below, but you are interested in applying for the call, please contact support@instruct-eric.org - we will initiate the process of establishing a connection.

Please note: The research visit must be finalised by the end of the EU-LAC ResInfra project - 31 December 2025
