Welcome to Elettra Crowd!

The beginning of autumn has been very busy in the new "European city of science" so far. The 2870 boats participating in the 50th edition of the "Barcolana", the world's largest sailing regatta, have left the bay. It is time for us to recap the events that have accompanied these last two sunny months. At the beginning of October, Elettra hosted the meeting of the European Spallation Source (ESS) Accelerator Collaboration Board. On the scientific divulgation side, Trieste NEXT was a big success, counting over 40000 people visiting the stands in Trieste main square. Lastly, don't forget to take a look at our exciting science highlights listed below.
 

We look forward to seeing you with us here at Elettra!
