Cerdanyola del Vallès, 29th January 2018. You can now apply for beamtime in order to use any of the ALBA instruments in the second semester of 2018. The deadline for receiving proposals is the 26th of February 2018, 23:59.
This call is not including macromolecular X-ray crystallography (MX) proposals because BL13-XALOC beamline has already covered access during all 2018.
Funding rules for users from Spanish home institutions have not changed. For users from non-Spanish European Home Institutions, we will fund one proposal per beamline through CalipsoPlus Funding (one experimental visit with two funded users from European non-Spanish Institutions). The proposal will be selected based on scientific excellence according to our Scientific Panel giving priority to proposals from European countries with no synchrotron facility when applicable. Dewars in remote experiments will be funded for all European users.
New regulatory rules include the ALBA data policy acceptance when applying for beamtime.
