DESY-ASU Workshop

27 Apr 2016, 17:00 → 29 Apr 2016, 17:00 Europe/Berlin

DESY Hamburg

Building on the strengths of both institutions and centered on the tight cooperation between DESY and ASU on X-ray FEL applications in structural biology we will organize a workshop on 28/29 April 2016 in Hamburg. The goals are to set up and shape a future-oriented partnership between ASU and DESY by further exploring and extending the cooperation into other fields, discussing joint hiring strategies and defining roadmaps how to tap into further funding resources.
