Instruct PartnerThe ITACA.SB project is dedicated to enhancing the structural biology (SB) services offered by the Italian centre of Instruct-ERIC, aiming to achieve three main objectives that focus on improving the quality and quantity of the Italian centre CERM/CIRMMP’s exploitation by both Italian and European users. This initiative seeks to elevate the level of research in Life Sciences within Italy, enhance international visibility and competitiveness for EC funding, and address specific bottlenecks faced by Italian structural biologists in accessing Instruct-ERIC services.
