Reservation Policies

Last updated: June 3, 2024

This section provides more details beyond relevant information covered in the SNSF Code of Conduct relating to reservations and usage of SNSF equipment.

  • As soon as you realize that you are unable to use either all, or a significant remaining part, of your reserved time, to:
    • Cancel the reservation on the appropriate reservation platform, and
    • Notify the instrument community of the newly available time (instrument email list, etc.).
      • Exception for EBPG tools only:
        • A reservation holder may coordinate to have another user to utilize the reserved time.
        • Reservation releases no longer need to be communicated to the user list. 
  • Do not make reservations or otherwise enable equipment for other users.
  • Do not make reservations or enable/disable equipment with short interruptions, making it generally difficult for other users to reserve or use the instrument.
