How to apply for beamtime

According to the operation contract, 30% of the beamtime will be offered to the scientific community trough the ESRF as for any other public beamline. The other 70% will be managed by an internal Spanish allocation committee. Therefore, there are two ways to apply for beamtime; either through the ESRF standard procedure or through the SpLine procedure. In both cases the same application form will be used but two different committees will revise the proposal. 

Please check that you have chosen the correct submission procedure. Please, mark STANDARD ESRF PROPOSAL if you want to apply through the ESRF procedure, and mark CRG PROPOSAL  if you want to apply through the SpLine procedure. There are two calls for beamtime proposal per year (March and September). Please check the specific dates here.

See the peer-reviewed ESRF public beamtime access page and the CRG-dedicated page for more information.
