User Meeting 2025

PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME

_______

     The ESRF is delighted to announce its 35th annual User Meeting that will be held from 10-12 February 2025 on the EPN Campus in Grenoble (site of the ESRF, ILL, EMBL-Grenoble and IBS). The event will bring together the international community of ESRF users, beamline staff and the ESRF User Organisation for three days of engaging tutorials, insightful plenary sessions, and user-dedicated microsymposia.
     The ESRF continues to push the boundaries of scientific research and technological innovation, driven by the unparalleled capabilities of the Extremely Bright Source.
     The User Meeting, just a few weeks before the March 2025 proposal submission deadline, is an opportunity to hear about the stimulating research carried out, to showcase your own research and to participate in tutorials and practicals designed to help you best exploit your ESRF data.

     Whether you're a seasoned ESRF user or a newcomer, the tutorials of the first day are designed to enhance your understanding and utilisation of the facility's cutting-edge tools and techniques. The plenary session on the second day of the meeting will feature thought leaders and pioneers in synchrotron radiation science, sharing their latest discoveries and future directions. These talks will not only inspire but also provide a platform for discussing the significant impact of synchrotron research on important scientific fields. And finally, the User Dedicated Microsymposia (UDM), on the third day, are tailored to specific research areas, offering a dive into specialised topics and an opportunity for users to present their own results in these areas. These sessions facilitate networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange among researchers with shared interests and challenges.

     The ESRF's role in academic and industrial research is pivotal, and the User Meeting is essential to highlight the facility's contribution to creating a greener future. Together, we can continue to harness the power of synchrotron radiation to advance science and address some of the most pressing issues of our time.
