Cerdanyola del Vallés, 16th July, 2018. The European project CALIPSOplus brings together 19 partners offering access to 14 synchrotrons and 8 FELs in Europe and the Middle East. In particular, the project is funding industry (SMEs) trans-national access to light sources. Call for proposals is now open for SMEs.
CALIPSOplus is aimed at removing barriers that prevent access to world-class, accelerator based light sources. The intense beams generated by light sources are outstanding tools for characterizing a large type of materials that provides unique information very useful for industry.
