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.

Online, 23rd Jan to 3rd Feb. 2023, organised by African Light Source Foundation

The School will introduce young scientists to the design, operation, and research opportunities offered at a modern synchrotron light source and how such sources are realized.

Press release 28th October 2022.

Villigen, 28 October: Against a backdrop of the energy crisis, scientists and policymakers convened at Paul Scherrer Institute PSI in Switzerland and set out a vision for European accelerator based photon sources to address current and future societal challenges together.

“LEAPS facilities find themselves in a unique position of simultaneously needing to adapt as heavy energy users whilst being an integral part of the solution.” So said Leonid Rivkin from the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, Switzerland, Chair of the League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources (LEAPS). Speaking at the 5th LEAPS plenary meeting, Rivkin commented that planned facility upgrades to leading European research infrastructures will help favourably shift the balance, providing more X-rays for more science with less energy consumption.

The second call for SME proposals is open from the 9th of September 2022 to the 28th of July 2023

SMEs can benefit from light source capabilities thanks to the European project LEAPS-INNOV, which is supporting industrial projects in an easy, agile and simple procedure.

LEAPS-INNOV is funding an access programme that is tailor-made for SMEs through a programme called "TamaTA-INNOV", for which SMEs can apply using a very simple form.

Read more about the opportunities available and submit a proposal here.

This LEAPS-INNOV webinar will be held for the second time on 3 November 2022, 11:00-12:00 CET.

The European project LEAPS-INNOV has an open call for proposals from SMEs.

The ESUO have launched a questionnaire related to the absence of TNA funding
