Small and medium companies (SMEs) can ask for funded beamtime in different European light sources thanks to EU CALIPSOplus project till the 30th of June 2021.

The European project CALIPSOplus brings together 19 partners offering access to 14 synchrotrons and 8 FELs in Europe and the Middle East. The project is funding industry (SMEs) trans-national access to light sources, allowing them to access the best light source for their particular needs, irrespective of whether or not it is the closest light source.

The sixth call for proposals is open until the 30th of June 2021. SMEs can apply for for funded beamtime through the website

If you want to know in detail what a synchrotron facility like ALBA can do for your company, you can now watch the webinar (in Spanish), organised by the ALBA Industrial Office last 17th December 2020.

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.

More information and CALIPSOplus light source contacts can be found here.

CALIPSOplus has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement n.º 730872.
