Instruct-ERIC is committed to the use of its infrastructure in response to emerging societal needs. In the case of the COVID-19 virus, Instruct-ERIC would like to ensure that its resources are made available to support researchers in their efforts to study the virus, working towards the development of an effective vaccine or treatment.
In this context, Instruct-ERIC is offering priority access to groups that need to use its structural biology services for projects directly related to COVID-19 viral proteins. Priority access will ensure a faster review of research proposals relating to COVID-19. You can view Instruct’s technology catalogue online.
To request priority access to Instruct-ERIC services for COVID-19 related research, please submit a research proposal with COVID-19 in the title of the proposal.
If you have any questions regarding access to Instruct-ERIC services for COVID-19 research, please contact the Instruct Hub at support@instruct-eric.eu.
