To use the Fly Facility, Drosophila researchers, including visitors, must complete a mandatory induction.
Contact the Manager at fly.facility@nms.unl.pt to schedule your induction (normally scheduled within 48 hours of the request).
The induction lasts approximately 30 minutes for users with previous experience working with fruit flies and 2 hours for inexperienced users. After induction and before beginning any work with flies, users must be officially registered as users of the Fly Facility. To do this, visit https://fcm.agendoscience.com/ and follow the instructions below:
- Register in Agendo – the new user must register in Agendo using the institutional email provided by the HR service or register using the institutional email from your organization.
- Requests – after registering on Agendo, you should click on "requests" in the menu bar on the left side and open the "Fly Facility access and services"
- Accepted request - the request on Agendo will only be accepted by the Facility Manager after you complete the mandatory induction.
- Calendars - in the menu bar on the left side you will find the “calendars” here you will find all the scopes available in the unit, which must always be reserved each time a user needs to use them
