Courses are organized to form an intersectorial training environment and to provide ESRs with a common language for the emerging field of “Protein structural dynamics”.

Training elements:

  • World-class laboratories recognised for pioneering innovative approaches to science.
  • PIs with a strong teaching commitment and experience in Marie-Curie training.
  • Specialised training courses including complementary skills.
  • Training officer who will organize the training events; monitor the progress of the training; coordinate specialist training events and public outreach.
  • Intersectorial training via private sector network partner.
  • Joint experiments at European and International user facilities.
  • Extensive secondments that strengthen the connections across the network.

Upcoming Trainings

Conference on Protein Conformational Dynamics:
October 11th, 2018
Time-resolved crystallography using XFEL & synchrotron radiation
