On behalf of the BioStruct-X management team I would like to draw your attention to the following call for proposals:

BioStruct – X Call for proposal submission for Transnational Access funding

BioStruct-X is a state-of-the-art, coordinated, multi-site platform that supports access to established and emerging key methods in structural biology. Eleven facilities from across Europe provide installations for applications in small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), macromolecular X-ray crystallography (MX), biological X-ray imaging (XI), and protein production and high-throughput crystallisation (PP and HTX).

Participating facilities are:
EMBL Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany (SAXS, MX, PP and HTX)
EMBL Grenoble, Grenoble, France (MX, PP and HTX)
SOLEIL, Saint Aubain, France (SAXS, MX, XI)
Max-lab, Lund, Sweden (SAXS and MX)
ALBA, Barcelona, Spain (MX and XI)
DESY, Hamburg, Germany (MX and XI)
Diamond, Didcot, United Kingdom (SAXS, MX, XI, PP and HTX)
ELETTRA, Trieste, Italy (MX)
HZB, Berlin, Germany (MX and XI)
PSI, Villigen, Switzerland (MX, PP and HTX)
UOXF, Oxford, United Kingdom (PP and HTX)

BioStruct-X offers a unified portal for Block Allocation Group (BAG) project proposal application and evaluation. We encourage the formation of BAG consortia interested in using multiple technology platforms offered in BioStruct-X.

The complete BioStruct-X proposal application will be carried out online. Electronic proposal application forms and detailed description of the facilities are available on BioStruct-X website (http://www.biostruct-x.eu/).
* Note: Proposal submission will be possible after November 1st.

BioStruct-X cooperates with the ESRFI project Instruct in providing an integrated and coordinated technology platform to all relevant methods in structural biology.

BioStruct-X is funded by the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission.
