1) With support from the Wellcome Trust and the BBSRC, the XFEL Hub at Diamond announces a pilot programme for travel aid to help reduce the financial burdens of XFEL experiments in structural biology. We invite UK researchers associated with proposals that have been granted non-proprietary XFEL beamtime around the world to apply for these funds. Further information is available through this link: http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Beamlines/Mx/XFEL-Hub/Travel-Grants.html
2) At the SPB/SFX Early User workshop at the European XFEL in Hamburg (28-29 Nov 2016), Allen Orville with the XFEL Hub at Diamond agreed to help coordinate the preparation of two proposals for early science experiments in **Time-resolved SFX** one for light driven systems, and the other for a mixing systems. Participants who would like to join this effort should contact us via e-mail to be included in the discussions. Early User Experiments at the European XFEL DEADLINE: Monday, 20 March 2017 inclusive (UTC+01:00) Femtosecond X-Ray Experiment (FXE) Instrument and Single Particles, Clusters, and Biomolecules & Serial Femtosecond Crystallography (SPB/SFX) Instruments For more information about the call and Early User experiment conditions, please refer to: http://www.xfel.eu/call_for_proposals Sincerely, AMO ~~~~ Allen M.
