“3rd AOBA summit is being celebrated, where the Asian, American and European synchrotron and FELS facilities are discussing the impact of the pandemic on the operation and future developments of the field, aiming at a closer collaboration among regions.”
– Caterina Biscari, LEAPS Chair
There was a strong presence of LEAPS today at the 3rd International Forum for Innovation in Next Generation Synchrotron Radiation SR Science in a Post-COVID-19 World – organized by the Tohoku University, Japan.
During the conference, among other COVID-19 related topics, many representatives of LEAPS facilities as well as Caterina Biscari, LEAPS Chair addressed the challenges of remote access to accelerator-based photon sources in Europe.
The last General Assembly elected Jean Dailant, Director General of SOLEIL as the next LEAPS vice-chair.
“One of the biggest challenges we will face in the coming years will be convincing the EC to design tools for analytic facilities at the level of our contribution to European science and innovation, building on the success of LEAPS-INNOV and to demonstrate that working together we are much more than 19 light sources.”
Jean Daillant will start his mandate on January 1st, 2022.
