Integrative structural biology: Instruct advocates integrative structural biology, where multiple techniques give particular breadth to research, although we are happy to accept proposals for both single or multiple technologies.

Funding for travel and accommodation: For scientists from Instruct member countries, Instruct-ERIC can support up to 400€ of travel and accommodation costs or sample shipment costs for access visits (€ 450 for physical visits if you do not travel by air)

Access costs to the users: Users will cover the costs associated with their visit directly to the Instruct facility.

Who qualifies: All academic and commercial scientists can apply for access.
