User Meeting 2024

January 2024: Since mid-January, protests by farmers are taking place across France. Actions include blocking major roads and delaying traffic. As a result, you may expect delays during your travel to and from the ESRF.  We apologize for any inconvenience due to these actions that are, unfortunately, beyond our control.

PROGRAMME

_______

The 33rd ESRF User Meeting took place onsite in February 2023, marking the return to in-person gatherings after two years of remote meetings. It was a delightful experience to witness the auditorium filled with scientists from all across Europe, engaging in discussions and sharing ideas over a communal buffet. Last year, the User Meeting set a new record for attendance, and we look forward to the same level of enthusiasm and participation in the 2024 ESRF User Meeting.

The User Meeting holds great significance in the scientific life of ESRF, providing users with valuable opportunities for training in data analysis through Tutorials. Attendees can also benefit from attending cutting-edge scientific presentations showcasing the forefront capabilities of the ESRF beamlines. Additionally, micro-symposia offer a platform for gathering with their scientific communities. With the meeting being held onsite, fruitful discussions can take place with local ESRF staff, fostering collaborations, reflecting on previous experiments, and preparing proposals that leverage the unique performance of the ESRF-EBS.
