Selection criteria
Please submit the following:
- CV
- Abstract
- Motivation letter
In accordance to the guidelines for EMBO Practical Courses, this event is primarily aimed at PhD students and early career researchers. However, as EMBO courses are promoting the transfer of knowledge and techniques in emerging fields and considering the course’s specificity, we will also support the attendance of scientists and technical staff in facilities and research groups as well as young research group leaders who have the potential to spread the acquired knowledge to their local scientific communities. Therefore, we encourage applicants to mention if they have or will have access to cryo-FIB and cryo-ET instruments after the course.
Motivation Letter
Candidates must submit a motivation letter no longer than 2000 characters. The selected candidates should give an outline on their research project, why cryo-electron tomography is vital to it, whether they will have access to cryo-FIB and cryo-TEM machines after the course, and how they will be able to spread the knowledge in their local scientific communities.
Poster specifications
All participants have to bring a poster presenting their work. The poster dimensions should not exceed A0 format.
