*Call for access to Synchrotron Beamline Facilities, 2019 - EMBL
Hamburg, Germany
*Submission deadline: Sunday 16 December 2018
We announce a call for synchrotron beam time applications in biological
small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and macromolecular crystallography
(MX) for the period March - December 2019. The following EMBL/DESY
beamlines at PETRA III are available: P12 (SAXS), P13 (MX), and P14 (MX).
For the groups applying for beamtime to work on several projects in MX
and/or SAXS, we strongly recommend the submission of BAG (Block
Allocation Group) proposals. Mail-in projects to use the robotic sample
changer or inline SEC-SAXS are encouraged for SAXS. Proposals utilizing
the new time-resolved crystallographic endstation P14.EH2 are encouraged
for MX.
The deadline for submission of proposals for 2019 is Sunday 16 December
2018 (midnight CET) after which the proposals will be evaluated by an
external Project Evaluation Committee. The users will be informed about
the results of their application by 4 February 2019.
A detailed description of the three beamlines and links to the
electronic proposal forms can be found at:

Access to the EMBL Hamburg facilities also includes assistance with
crystallisation, sample preparation and, in combination with an EMBL
beamline visit, with sample characterisation and optimisation.
Usage of the beamlines and biophysical facilities for translational
research can in part be supported by the iNEXT project
(https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inext-eu.org%2Faccess%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cpaul.butler%40nist.gov%7C1241248e585d4a7aab0608d63ff01185%7C2ab5d82fd8fa4797a93e054655c61dec%7C1%7C0%7C636766697658784928&sdata=q46MbO3eAT4eotUOAjavB33OMneQBQtJaOu%2BnGosJH4%3D&reserved=0) of the Horizon 2020 programme of the
European Union. iNEXT support can be requested for the projects
conducted before 31 August 2019.
