InstructSlovenia became an Instruct-ERIC member in 2023, ensuring that researchers in the country could now receive funded access to structural biology technologies and services in Instruct centres across Europe.
To celebrate the addition of Slovenia to the Instruct-ERIC consortium, a mini-symposium “Structural Biology in Slovenia and Beyond” will introduce the fantastic work that the structural biology community in Slovenia is already achieving, and what they can access through the Instruct catalogue.
The meeting takes place 14 May 2024 – the full programme can be found below.
