Instruct is launching a new access call which will provide dedicated support to access projects of ECRs in the field of integrated structural biology. The intent of this support is to promote early independence of researchers to become competitive for external funding for independent projects.
This R&D call seeks to further develop the relationships between Instruct scientists/Centres and industrial partners, and facilitate the development of instruments/software/approaches for structural biology applications that benefit the aims of Instruct.
Open Call for Transnational Service Provision. Under the canSERV Open Call researchers are welcome to apply to a portfolio of services offered by canSERV to address the research needs of the entire oncology developmental pipeline.
Nominations are invited for the Ivano Bertini Award 2026 for significant achievements in any area of integrated structural biology. Nominations must be submitted by 5pm (CEST) 31 July 2025, and will be presented at the Instruct Biennial Conference 2026 in Brussels, Belgium
Instruct-ERIC Centre Evaluation submission form
Before you start: Consider this list of European projects that offer funding for access. You may discover another project that suits your specific needs.
Timeframe: The application and review process is efficient, transparent and quick. We aim to turn around applications within 6 weeks.
When to apply: Applications for access can be submitted at any time.
Proposal application steps: There are six steps to the online application process, and you are guided through them step by step.
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.
Your ARIA profile: Remember to update your profile, since this acts as your CV for all online applications. You can edit your profile at the end of your dashboard page.
