A 2-day practical workshop on sample preparation for single particle cryo-EM, jointly organised by the ESRF, EMBL Grenoble and the IBS, will be held at the ESRF from September 18^th to 19^th2018. This is the first of a series of practical hand-on workshops to come in the future and is aimed at PhDs, PostDocs and young scientists new to the field of single particle cryo-EM. During the course, participants will learn theoretical and practical aspects of sample preparation for single particle cryo-EM.

There is no registration fee and meals and accommodation during the workshop will be provided free of charge. However, participants should to arrange and pay for their own travel to/from Grenoble. A maximum of 12 participants will be selected and we will accept a limited number of participants’ samples to be tested during the workshop.
