Instruct Internships

February 15, 2020

The Instruct Internship Programme funds research visits of 3-6 months duration to Instruct Centres in Europe. The aim is to facilitate valuable collaborations with Instruct research groups applying techniques that are not available in the applicant’s laboratory. Applications should specifically focus on the benefit to the applicant’s research. Internships may be hosted at any institution that hosts an Instruct Centre, providing the applicant is a resident of a different full Instruct member country at the time of making the application.

R&D Pilot Project Awards

February 15, 2020

From time to time, Instruct publishes calls for small scale pilot research projects in integrated structural biology. Resources are allocated to support a limited number of pilot studies proposed by researchers from Instruct member countries. Pilot projects may be funded up to a maximum of €15,000. The funds are expected to cover research expenses but not normally salaries. The intent of this support is to help researchers develop external funding for projects, i.e. the expectation is that a pilot study will lead to a grant submission to national or international funding bodies.

D4Ss fieldwork starts

February 6, 2020

MARlab has recently started the Project D4Ss fieldwork, collecting samples from 3 different sites in the Sado estuary.

The team, consisting of MARE-NOVA researchers Marta Martins, Joana Neves and João Pequeno, as well as Mare-UÉVORA researchers, collected the samples on site and then processed the samples in the laboratory in order to assess the functional benthic ecosystem interactions and differences between the sampling sites, which are located in different margins of the estuary.
