Elettra’s delegation at the LEAPS 5th Plenary Meeting at PSI

The LEAPS 5th Plenary Meeting starts today at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland.
During the 3 day meeting the LEAPS community gathers to discuss strategic topics relevant to the Consortium and its scientific communities, and reflect on the progress of its initiatives, actions, and projects. The Plenary also creates the opportunity for bringing together the EU Policy, EU Research Infrastructures, and Industry spheres for discussions on creating synergies and cooperating to tackle the most pressing challenges we face as a society.
The Public Session include perspectives from the European Commission, the Swedish Research Council (linked to the upcoming Swedish EU Presidency), the new LEAPS European Strategy for Accelerator based Photon Sources, and such strategic scientific topics as Quantum Technologies, Life Sciences, and the first results of the upgrade of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). During the LEAPS internal sessions the progress of current EU-funded projects will be discussed, as well as scientific and policy initiatives, plans for future HE calls, and the strategic work with other EU Research Infrastructure.
Elettra’s colleagues are involved in the Plenary sessions as well as in the Working Group parallel meetings in the afternoon and in the Digital LEAPS project meetings.
