Central European Initiative, EU: Access to integrated multidisciplinary facilities for materials and biomaterials

The Central European Initiative and The Central European Research Infrastructure Consortium invites proposals for access to integrated multidisciplinary facilities for materials and biomaterials. This enables scientists from all over the world to access over fifty different and complementary state of the art techniques and support laboratories. Due to the COVID-19 emergency, some facilities may propose to perform measurements remotely through sample mailing. Access is provided free of charge, providing the results are made available to the community in a reasonable time. Open access publication costs will also be covered for successful proposals.

For the following synchrotron beamlines, only multi-technique proposals will be considered: •BAEL – band dispersion and electron-phonon coupling; •ESCA – electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis microscopy; •GAPH – gas phase photoemission; •SUES – high resolution core-level photoemission spectroscopy; •IUVS – inelastic scattering with ultraviolet radiation; •MCX – materials characterisation by x-ray diffraction; •NASP – nanospectroscopy; •TwinMic – soft x-ray transmission and emission microscope; •SPEM – spectromicroscopy; •SISSI-Bio – synchrotron infrared source for spectroscopy and imaging; •SYRMEP – synchrotron radiation for medical physics; •XAFS – x-ray absorption spectroscopy; •XRD1 – x-ray diffraction.

Scientists across the world may apply.
