Dear all, deadline for submission of proposals for beamtime at BM14 (ESRF) for the second run of 2009 [April/May] is this Friday, the20th February 2009. Beamline proposals can be submitted on-line from the BM14 webpages at http://www.bm14.eu
PLEASE remember this call is distinct from ESRF proposal call and allows you direct access to BM14 -We provide funding for UK, EMBL and EU member state countries for travel and subsistence - special requests can be forwarded directly to wa...@esrf and we will do our best to accommodate you.
