In mid-May, the International Evaluation Commission completed its work on the evaluation of proposals for beamtime in the seventh call. A total of 84 applications were assessed in the competition, submitted for four beamlines and a cryo-microscope. The applications were analyzed by external experts in terms of formalities, sample safety and the merits of the planned research work.
