We are delighted to announce that Spain has submitted their application to join Instruct-ERIC as a full member. Following the CONTINUED strong support from the Spanish government TO INSTRUCT, the Spanish Ministery for Research formally applied in July for Instruct-ERIC membership. Spain has been part of Instruct from its very early days, lately being a signatory of Instruct-ICA (for International Consortium Agreement), that was the legal support for the "pre-ERIC" structure of Instruct.
We are all looking forward our work together in the new Instruct-ERIC, a work that coincides with a period in which the general social and political perception of Science in Spain is changing, becoming much stronger than in the past. We look at the future in a very positive way, and we are sure the new Instruct_ERIC will be the ideal instrument to address many strategic and long term questions regarding the impact of structural biology in all aspects of sociate.
