The synchrotron and FEL landscape in Europe
The video titled "The Synchrotron and FEL Landscape in Europe" features Cormac McGuinness, President of the European Synchrotron and Free Electron Laser Users Organisation (ESUO), providing an overview of the current state and distribution of synchrotron and free-electron laser (FEL) facilities across Europe. In this presentation, McGuinness discusses the various research infrastructures available, highlighting their roles, capabilities, and the scientific communities they serve. The talk aims to inform viewers about the opportunities these advanced light sources offer for scientific research and collaboration within the European context.
NEPHEWS Project
(NEutrons and PHotons Elevating Worldwide Science)
Improved research infrastructure and scientific endeavours have the potential to propel innovation forward and significantly enhance the quality of life for populations. With this in mind, the EU-funded NEPHEWS project aims to broaden access to advanced neutron, synchrotron, and free-electron complementary research infrastructures across an expanding range of countries. The project will collaborate with its user base to develop a user-driven access program focused on enhancing the accessibility and usability of the research infrastructures (RI) for diverse communities. Additionally, it will offer a wide range of experiments, provide expert training, and conduct virtual and in-person workshops and collaborations. Finally, the project will facilitate political dialogue and advocate for research funding.
