Center for X-Rays in Swedish Materials Science

Se hit företag/branscher som önskar kunna nyttja extern infrastruktur för test, verifiering och uppskalning i pilotskala. I Sverige har det länge kallats Test&demonstrationsinfrastruktur, pilotlinor - eller testbäddar. I EU etableras även begreppet "Technology infrastruktur", som idag översätts som teknikinfrastruktur För att stärka det europeiska samarbetet kring dessa resurskrävande infrastrukturer pågår både kartläggningar av resurser för olika områden och denna breda behovsutredning Enkäten är bara öppen i några ytterligare dagar. Ed./Förtydligande: Detta rör alltså inte s k Forskningsinfrastruktur (eng Research Infrastructure, RI) utan är en del i EUs pågående strategiska arbete kring just Teknikinfrastruktur/ Technology Infrastructure

60 years ago, DESY performed the first experiments with synchrotron radiation emanating from its original DESY accelerator ring. Since then, DESY X-ray science has been pioneering, extending from developing Germany’s first dedicated storage ring facility in DORIS; to decoding biological structures including for the ribosome, which led to a Nobel Prize; to creating the first X-ray free-electron laser; to making the first steps to miniaturising accelerators. Many thousands of scientists from across the globe have done work here in these sixty years, and countless collaborations, including those with EMBL and University of Hamburg, have been formed to make the most of the expertise in synchrotron radiation here. Today, we held a special colloquium to mark the occasion – including remarks from Weizmann Institute of Science professor and Nobel Laureate Ada Yonath, who spent twenty years working on DESY facilities and did some of her most important work here – and presentations from ESRF - The European Synchrotron director Francesco Sette, DESY lead scientists Saša Bajt and Harald Reichert, RIKEN Managing Director Tetsuya Ishikawa, former European XFEL directors Massimo Altarelli and Robert Feidenhans’l, and former DESY scientific director and CERN general director Rolf Heuer, and more. Happy Anniversary, Synchrotron Light at DESY!! #synchrotron60

Great opportunity to join Uppsala University and the European Spallation Source, ESS! We are looking for a researcher to be commissioning beamline scientist at the DREAM instrument, and to develop your own research in close collaboration between Uppsala University and the DREAM instrument team.

Do you think bridging science and software development at MAX IV sound fun? Join us and apply your software development skills within the synchrotron domain! The technical division is looking for a Frontend Web Developer. DL: 18/8. Apply: https://lnkd.in/dVmV3sgF

PETRA IV Parliamentary Breakfast today (27 June) in Berlin: Why does Germany need the X-ray microscope of superlatives, what will it achieve for science and innovation? Where does the project stand today and what is needed to realise this unique instrument for the broadest range of research questions in the natural sciences and technology? Many thanks to Holger Becker for his patronage and support and for the strong backing of the research committee.  Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in Germany, delivers words of support for PETRA IV in Berlin as well, stressing the importance of complimentary competencies of the different scientific institutions. Approval also from the Dean of Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf, Blanche Schwappach-Pignataro, because PETRA IV will offer unique opportunities for biomedical research and open up new therapeutic options in the long term. Katharina Fegebank, 2nd Mayor and Senator for Science reaffirms the city's commitment to PETRA IV. Thank you very much! ----------- Parlamentarisches Frühstück PETRA IV heute (27. Juni) in Berlin: Warum braucht Deutschland das Röntgenmikroskop der Superlative, was wird es leisten für Wissenschaft und Innovation? Wo steht das Projekt heute und was wird benötigt, um dieses einmalige Instrument für breiteste Forschungsfragen im naturwissenschaftlichen und technischen Bereich umzusetzen. Herzlichen Dank an Holger Becker für die Schirmherrschaft und die Unterstützung. Auch für die breite Unterstützung im Forschungsausschuss des Deutschen Bundestages.   Holger Hanselka, Präsident der Fraunhofer Gesellschaft in Deutschland unterstützt PETRA IV vor Ort und betont die Bedeutung der engen Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Forschungseinrichtungen, bei der die jeweiligen Stärken sich ideal ergänzen. Zustimmung auch von der Dekanin des UKE, Blanche Schwappach-Pignataro, denn PETRA IV wird einmalige Möglichkeiten für die biomedizinische Forschung bieten und langfristig neue Therapiemöglichkeiten eröffnen. Katharina Fegebank, Hamburgs 2. Bürgermeisterin und Wissenschaftssenatorin bekräftigt das Commitment der Stadt zu PETRA IV. Vielen Dank!

Beamline for Schools (BL4S) a physics competition run by CERN is open to secondary school pupils from all around the world. Participants are invited to prepare a proposal for a physics experiment that can be undertaken at the beamline of a particle accelerator, either at CERN or at DESY. Three teams from three different continents are the winner this year. At DESY we are very much looking forward to welcome the team "SPEEDers" from Andover High School in Massachusetts. Beate Heinemann is a fan of #BL4S “Every year I am very impressed by the creativity and determination of the team members. I am already looking forward to hosting the team from the USA this year. This program is so important to me as it advances not only science but also the cultural exchange between young people from different nations.” More info: https://lnkd.in/eGwaPwz2
