EBS Science Workshop

8 and 9 December 2016
EPN Campus

Following the call for Expressions of Interest (EoI) launched in October 2015 and concluded in March 2016, the ESRF received 48 EoIs from the user community. The EoIs have been assessed by ESRF experts and grouped by scientific theme. The outcome of this analysis was discussed at the last Science Advisory Committee (SAC) meeting in May 2016, to arrive at a list of eight topics for upgraded beamlines and a number of major refurbishment projects.

During the last few months, the ESRF has started the preparation of Conceptual Design Reports (CDRs) for potential new beamlines to be constructed within the EBS project. For each of the eight selected scientific themes, a working group (experts, SAC observer, beamline scientists) has been mandated to develop a draft CDR condensing the scientific case into a potential beamline project.
