Organization changes of CIISB at the Institute of Biotechnology
The CIISB facilities at IBT have been undergoing the following organizational changes.
Instruct-ERIC is a European Research Infrastructure, providing researchers with access to high-end structural biology technologies and expertise, as well as enabling access to this equipment and expertise through an infrastructure distributed throughout Europe, with 15 members across the continent.
Structural Biology is currently in the middle of a revolution enabled by significant technology advances in recent years (direct electron detectors in EM, advances in synchrotron sources and detectors, XFELs, ultra-high field NMR, super-resolution cryo-light microscopy etc). For this reason, Instruct-ERIC is reviewing the structural biology capabilities within Europe to individuate possible updates in order to fully respond to the needs of the structural biology community.
It is thus important to have your feedback to support this activity: please fill in this short survey, and circulate it to your structural biology colleagues.

To honor the memory of Prof. Vladimír Sklenář, an internationally renowned scientist and an important organizer of scientific activities in the Czech Republic, CEITEC Masaryk University awards the Vladimír Sklenář Scholarship. The scholarship is intended for students of doctoral studies at universities in the Czech and Slovak Republics working with NMR spectroscopy and can be used to cover the costs related to their studies. The intention is to improve the conditions for the awardee’s personal and career development.
The scholarship in the amount of CZK 100,000, which may be taxable according to the practice of the institution and/or the tax regulations of the beneficiary's country, is sponsored by Měřicí technika Morava. The scholarship will be awarded to one person per year.
