ISA is a Danish National Facility where research is carried out over a wide range of the natural and life sciences, including fundamental physics, material science, molecular biology and laboratory astrophysics, using accelerators and storage rings.

Apply for free-of-charge access to the AU-SRCD beam line through MOSBRI.

It is possible to apply for TNA through the EU H2020 programme MOSBRI. Proposals are accepted at any time through the MOSBRI website, but this is only applicable for access to the AU-SRCD facility at ASTRID2.

The NFFA-Europe PILOT (NEP) access scheme.

The EU funded project NFFA-Europe PILOT (NEP) aims at increasing European competitiveness in nanosciences and nanotechnologies and includes an open access platform for carrying out comprehensive projects for multidisciplinary research at the nanoscale. The projects qualified for access includes the use of synchrotron radiation sources. Special to the NEP project is that it is not an alternative vehicle to only access Large Scale Facilities, like ASTRID2, and access is not granted to a beam line alone. The proposal has to include access to more than one type of installation under the NEP programme.

NEP is currently under amendment preparations to include ISA for offering free-of-charge transnational (TNA) access to the ASTRID2 Matline and AU-UV beam lines. It is expected that this access method will be available during the first half of 2024. Please note that access via NEP is handled via the programme website directly and does not require submission of an ISA proposal.

EU project NEutrons and PHotons Elevating Worldwide Science (NEPHEWS) under grant aggreement preparation.

Together with 22 other synchrotron radiation and Neutron facilities, ISA is participating in the EU project NEutrons and PHotons Elevating Worldwide Science (NEPHEWS). Under NEPHEWS we will offer free-of-charge transnational access (TNA) to the ASTRID2 beam lines, covering travel and accommodation for eligible users. NEPHEWS has a special focus on EU Widening countries, Ukraine and Africa, but researchers from all EU member states and associated countries may apply to benefit from the TNA programme.

NEPHEWS is currently under grant agreement preparations with the EC, and we expect to be able to offer access under this program during the first half year of 2024.
