*Call for access to Synchrotron Beamline Facilities, 2016 - EMBL 
Hamburg, Germany*

We announce a call for synchrotron beam time applications in biological 
small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and macromolecular crystallography 
(MX) for the period April - December 2016. The following EMBL/DESY 
beamlines at Petra III are available: P12 (SAXS), P13 (MX), and P14 
(MX). A detailed description of the three beamlines and links to the 
electronic beam proposal forms can be found at:

http://www.embl-hamburg.de/services/access_infrastructures/index.html

The deadline for submission of proposals is January 24th, 2016. The 
proposals will be evaluated by an external Project Evaluation Committee. 
The users will be informed about the results of the application by March 
7th, 2016.
Please note: It is now possible to submit MX BAG (Block Allocation 
Group) proposals for 2016 beam time.

Access to the EMBL Hamburg facilities also includes assistance with 
crystallisation, sample preparation and, in combination with an EMBL 
beamline visit, in sample characterisation and optimisation. Usage of 
the beamlines and biophysical facilities for translational research can 
in part be supported by the European Commission, Horizon 2020 programme 
of the European Union, iNEXT project (http://www.inext-eu.org/access/)
