In addition to assistance in sample preparation, microscopic imaging, and data processing, NeCEN is also meant as a training facility for structural biologists. PhD students and Postdocs are offered an intense training course with the aim to become familiar with advanced cryo electron microscopy.
NeCEN offers local user training and the bi-annual national Dutch Cryo-EM school (https://cryotud.github.io/dutchcryoemschool/). These courses include lectures given by renowned cryo-EM experts and practical hands-on training in small groups by NeCEN's experienced operators.
