+On May 14th, 2024, Instruct.SI and Instruct-ERIC organized a mini-symposium entitled [**Structural biology in Slovenia and beyond**](events/mini-symposium-structural-biology-slovenia-14may24), celebrating membership of Slovenia in Instruct-ERIC. As part of the symposium, head of Instruct-ERIC operations Claudia Alén Amaro presented opportunities enabled by the membership, which was followed by inspiring lectures of Harald Schwalbe (Instruct-ERIC director), Lucia Banci (head of Instruct-IT, University of Florence), and Jiří Nováček (Instruct-CZ, CEITEC). In the second part of the meeting, young Slovenian structural biologists (PhD students and early-career postdocs) presented their work, showcasing the high level of research in this field in Slovenia.
+
+During the meeting, Marjetka Podobnik (National Institute of Chemistry), main organizer of the conference and coordinator of Instruct.SI, and Miha Pavšič (University of Ljubljana), Instruct.SI board president, were presented with a certification of Slovenia's membership in Instruct-ERIC.
