Onsite restaurant:

• Opening hours :
  • During weekdays: 11:30 - 13:30 (lunch) and 19:00 - 20:30 (dinner).
  • During week-ends and bank holidays:  12:00 - 13:30 (lunch) and 19:00 - 20:30 (dinner).
• Some areas of the restaurant will remain with plexiglass for those with fragile health or who wish to keep using them during their meal.

Sandwich counter / Cafeteria: The cafeteria and sandwich corner provide normal service (from 9:30 to 11:00 and from 11:30 to 14:00 on Monday to Friday).

Vending machines: The use of vending machines is operational.

Users should ensure that they stop working and go to the restaurant and/or sandwich counter when they are open.

In addition to the onsite members of the user team, other members of the research team may join the experiment remotely and in some cases, with agreement from the local contact, experiments may take place fully remotely.

Users who will be involved in the experiment remotely must be identified using the checkbox “Remote User”.

For the users who will come onsite, fill in the A-form normally, indicating if there is a request for Guesthouse reservation and reimbursement (do not click on the “Remote User” box).

Local external users (Grenoble area) can request reimbursement in which case meal credits for using the onsite restaurant will be available on their user badge as before. The Guesthouse is reserved for non-local external users but can be used by local users at their own expense if rooms are available 5 days before the experiment.

All samples must be declared in the A-form and in ICAT for both onsite and remote experiments. Sample sheets must be added at the level of the proposal, and then declared in the A-form for the experiment session in question. Parcels must then be set up in ICAT, even if the samples are being brought to the site, so that they can be tracked before, during and after the experiment. If samples are brought to the site, they do not need to transit through the Stores but the beamline staff must update their tracking status in ICAT when they arrive at and leave the beamline, or when they are destroyed. See the instruction web page for Remote Experiments on Non-Structural Biology beamlines for details on how to do this.
