Molecular modellers in academia often face budgetary constraints when exploring advanced tools for their work. If you’re using SAMSON, you can unlock significant benefits, such as free extensions and discounts, by obtaining an academic status. Here’s a short guide on how to make this happen seamlessly.
Why Academic Status Matters
With academic status on SAMSON, you get access to select SAMSON Extensions for free, along with steep discounts (up to 90%) on additional premium extensions. These tools can vastly extend the platform’s functionality, aiding in tasks like structural biology, drug design, and material science simulations.
Steps to Obtain Academic Status
Follow these straightforward steps to apply for academic status:
- Register with an Institutional Email: Sign up on SAMSON Connect using your official academic email address associated with a university, research institution, or similar organization.
- Wait for Approval: SAMSON typically grants academic status within 1-2 working days. You’ll receive a confirmation once your status has been activated.
- Need Assistance? If, after registering with a valid academic email, you haven’t received your status, simply contact the SAMSON team. They will assist you in resolving the issue.
No Academic Email? Here’s What to Do
If you’re a student or researcher working in academia but don’t have an institutional email, don’t worry! Reach out to the SAMSON team at contact@samson-connect.net and explain your situation. They will guide you on the next steps to verify your academic status.
Changing Your Email Address
Keep in mind that if you decide to change your email associated with your SAMSON account, you’ll need to reinstall the SAMSON platform using the new credentials.
