Laserlab-Europe has entered a new phase of its successful cooperation: the Consortium now brings together 35 leading institutions in laser-based inter-disciplinary research from 18 countries. Together with associate partners, Laserlab covers the majority of European member states. 24 laboratories offer access to their facilities for research teams from Europe and beyond, kindly supported by EC funding.
        Lasers and photonics, one of only five key enabling technologies identified by the European Union, are not only essential for the scientific future but also for the socio-economic security of any country. Given the importance of lasers and their applications in all areas of sciences, life sciences and technologies.

ESRF – European Synchrotron Radiation Facility

# data[].attributes.description
The ESRF is the world’s most intense X-ray source and a centre of excellence for fundamental and innovation-driven research in condensed and living matter science.
The intense source of synchrotron-generated light produces X-rays 100 billion times brighter than the X-rays used in hospitals. These X-rays, endowed with exceptional properties, are produced at the ESRF by the high energy electrons that race around the storage ring, a circular tunnel measuring 844 metres in circumference.
Each year, the demand to use these X-ray beams increases and near to 9000 scientists from around the world come to “beamlines”, each equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Located in Grenoble, France, the ESRF owes its success to the international cooperation of 22 partner nations, of which 13 are Members and 9 are Associates.

PaN Learning is the E-learning platform of the PaN Training Portal for the Photon and Neutron community. The platform has a long history and is also part of the EU-founded projects PaNOSC and ExPaNDS.

* The E-learning platform hosts free education and training for scientists and students.
* In the platform you will find courses on both the theory of photon and neutron scattering 
and how to use python code or software for data reduction and modelling.
* All content from our E-learning platform is also listed in this catalogue of PaN training materials.

The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) promotes the qualitative enrichment of research data by means of metadata – and implements this approach across the whole organization.

HMC develops and implements novel concepts and technologies for a sustainable handling of research data through high-quality metadata. Its main goal is to make the depth and breadth of research data produced by Helmholtz Centres findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) for the whole science community.

The Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud (PaNOSC)

The Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud (PaNOSC) is a European project for making FAIR data a reality in 6 European Research Infrastructures (RIs), developing and providing services for scientific data and connecting these to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

## Objectives

* Participate in the construction of the EOSC by linking with the e-infrastructures and other ESFRI clusters.
* Make scientific data produced at Europe’s major Photon and Neutron sources fully compatible with the FAIR principles.
* Generalise the adoption of open data policies, standard metadata and data stewardship from 15 photon and neutron RIs and physics institutes across Europe
* Provide innovative data services to the users of these facilities locally and the scientific community at large via the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
* Increase the impact of RIs by ensuring data from user experiments can be used beyond the initial scope.
* Share the outcomes with the national RIs who are observers in the proposal and the community at large to promote the adoption of FAIR data principles, data stewardship and the EOSC.

ExPaNDS is the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Photon and Neutron Data Service.

The ambitious ExPaNDS project is a collaboration between 10 national Photon and Neutron Research Infrastructures (PaN RIs) as well as EGI. The project aims to deliver standardised, interoperable, and integrated data sources and data analysis services for Photon and Neutron facilities.

## Objectives

### FAIR data principles

ExPaNDS’s ambition is to coordinate activities to enable national PaN RIs to make the majority of their data open following the FAIR principles; Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.

### Harmonising EOSC services

ExPaNDS will allow data to be tailored to the user’s needs, and will harmonise their efforts to migrate data analysis workflows to EOSC platforms, allowing them to be shared in a uniform way.

League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources (LEAPS)

# data[].attributes.description
LEAPS – the League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources – is a strategic consortium initiated by the Directors of the Synchrotron Radiation and Free Electron Laser user facilities in Europe. Its primary goal is to actively and constructively ensure and promote the quality and impact of fundamental, applied and industrial research carried out at each facility to the greater benefit of European science and society.
