EU initiatives
There are several EU initiative related to lightsources. For information we are listing the ones we are aware of here:
- LEAPS – the League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources – is a strategic consortium initiated by the Directors of the Synchrotron Radiation and Free Electron Laser (FEL) user facilities in Europe
For more information visit: https://www.leaps-initiative.eu/ - FELs Of EUROPE – is a collaboration of all free electron laser (FEL) facilities in Europe, with the goal to meet the technological and scientific challenges of these novel and rapidly developing technologies
For more information visit: https://www.fels-of-europe.eu/ - Wayforlight – is a portal for users of European Light sources; wayforlight is an initiative of the European H2020 projects CALIPSOplus and EUCALL
For more information visit: http://www.wayforlight.eu - CALIPSOplus – The aim of the CALIPSOplus project is to remove barriers for access to world-class accelerator-based light sources in Europe and in the Middle East.
For more information visit: http://www.calipsoplus.eu/ - EUCALL – is a network between leading large-scale user facilities for free-electron laser, synchrotron and optical laser radiation working together on common methodologies and research opportunities, as well as developing tools to sustain this interaction in the future.
For more information visit: https://www.eucall.eu/ - ExPaNDS – ExPaNDS is the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Photon and Neutron Data Service.
The ambitious ExPaNDS project is a collaboration between 10 national Photon and Neutron Research Infrastructures (PaN RIs) as well as EGI. The project aims to deliver standardised, interoperable, and integrated data sources and data analysis services for Photon and Neutron facilities.
For more information visit: https://expands.eu/ - PaNOSC – The Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud (PaNOSC) is a European project for making FAIR data a reality in 6 European Research Infrastructures (RIs), developing and providing services for scientific data and connecting these to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
