Two months left for sending proposals to the fifth CALIPSOplus call for SMEs. Till 29th July 2020, small and medium companies can ask for funded beamtime in different European light sources thanks to EU CALIPSOplus project.

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. Fifth call for proposals is still open for SMEs till 29th July.

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.
