*What is new in this call?*
CERIC is increasing its capacities in the field of Energy materials. To this end, we will upgrade certain beamlines/instruments during this year in order to improve our services. In the first step, the upgrades will address battery research and we invite the users to check the instruments pages or contact the instruments scientists for forthcoming development.
Additional Facilities available:
- The Ultraviolet Laser Facility of the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (ULF-FORTH) in Greece
- The X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamline LISA@ESRF;
- The new soft X-ray beamline PHELIX@SOLARIS
Due to an important upgrade, the NAPXPS instrument in Prague will not receive user proposals in this call
Due to the COVID-19 emergency and according to the local evolution of the pandemic, some of the CERIC facilities may propose to perform measurements remotely, through sample mailing. It will be possible to express your availability for remote measurements in the proposal submission form.
