Welcome to Elettra Crowd!

The coronavirus outbreak, which hit the world and has forced the majority of populations to cut social contact, has also made Elettra a less "crowded" place compared to only two months ago! In spite of the imposed restrictions, we are continuing to be very busy offering several beamlines for rapid access proposals related to COVID-19 research. We are also developing efficient modes to allow remote operation for execution of experiments at our beamlines.
We are ready to tackle this new challenge with the confidence that the strong ties with our user community will be invigorated by the difficulties facing all of us.

Now more than ever, we are looking forward to the days that you all be able to join us here at Elettra!
