Principal Investigator: Once the proposal is accepted, you will receive an invitation by email 6-8 weeks before the experiment is scheduled. In this email, you will receive the name and contact details of your ESRF Local Contact, a scientist familiar with the beamline and instrumental set-up who will assist you with your experiment. You are encouraged to contact your local contact as soon as possible to discuss the details of your experiment. 

New users: Create your account in the User Portal. You cannot be registered as a user on an experiment (through the submission of the electronic Session Form (A-form) by the Principal Investigator) until you have an account. Perform your online Safety Training (User Portal -> tab 'Safety' -> 'User Safety Training'). If you are to receive financial assistance by the ESRF ('reimbursed' user), you must complete the section/tab 'Reimbursement data' in your user account

Returning users: Make sure your account is up to date in the User Portal.
