‘Next gen’ infrastructures as enablers to solve tomorrow’s industrial and societal challenges

Session supported by European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF)
A new generation of synchrotrons offers a rare opportunity to rethink how research infrastructures (RIs) are embedded in innovation and economic models. Upgraded facilities have the potential to transform business models, accessibility, user experience and systems that will fully capitalise on scientific experiments and increased capacities. Building on the ESRF’s Extremely Brilliant Source and the STREAMLINE project, this session will explore how rapid improvements in beam brilliance - and the latest technology available in Ris - will contribute to pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge and solving the biggest societal challenges.
