Abstract
Over the past decade, the ALBA Synchrotron, the Spanish 3rd generation light source, has become an important pillar of the Spanish and European Research Area, providing research capabilities and a wide range of state-of-the-art instrumentation to a community of more than 6500 academic and industrial users. ALBA is prepared to leap to the 4th generation, boosting its impact on the user community and on the industrial use of the instrumentation, and reinforcing its educational vocation and training capacity. ALBA II, whose project has just started and is planned to be fully operative in the ‘30s, will combine the upgrade to low-emittance storage ring with the construction of new fully-optimized beamlines, the refurbishment of part of its instrumentation, the evolution of the data infrastructure. ALBA is open to the whole range of applications of synchrotron light, and at the same time is focusing its strategic areas to provide multimodal and correlative answers to the most urgent questions about health and sustainability for the future of our planet, in particular aiming at influencing the research on green energy, green catalysis, advanced materials, food production and conservation.
