Instruct PartnerOn June 15, the Portuguese Community of Instruct-ERIC users, associated via the Portuguese Centre for Integrated Structural Biology (PCISBIO), will hold its 3rd meeting.
The meeting will be held online, using Zoom, and will focus on the participation of Portuguese researchers in two Instruct-ERIC activities: a PhD student’s internship in Helsinki (Andreia Fernandes, ITQB NOVA) and an R&D pilot project recently approved (Hugo Oliveira, Minho University). The programme will be available in the Instruct Hub website and in the ITQB NOVA website.
The meeting, which is usually held every two years, was scheduled for 2020, but was postponed in light of the pandemic.
