About event
The workshop is intended for EM facility scientists, managers, and experts from both academia and industry to discuss and share best practices concerning cryo-EM facility operation. The sessions will contain presentations on sample preparation and data management strategies. Each session will be complemented by a round table discussion to facilitate sharing the experience and brainstorm future directions and needs.
