The Committee Research with Synchrotron Radiation is elected by the synchrotron ratiation users in Germany to represent their interest and to foster research with synchrotron radiation.
DESY Strategy Fond (DSF): Call for COVID-19 related research projects
 |
DESY directorate has issued a special call for research projects related to the COVID-19 pandemic or future, similar instances in a wider sense. This is a rolling call and incoming proposals will be reviewed and awarded on a continuous basis until further notice. Although funding is available for individual proposals from DESY researchers we particularly encourage joint proposals with national or international collaboration partners and also proposals from the user communities with DESY contributors.

Research with photons - light for the future, spring 2020
 |
The KFS has published a strategy brochure on research with synchrotron radiation in Germany. It highlights the value of this research, and gives recommendations for future developments. So far, only the German brochure is available, but the English version will follow soon. [more] |

We would like to draw your attention to the rapid access programs of the centers for COVID-19 research.
Research with synchrotron radiation and neutrons makes a valuable contribution to the development of drugs and vaccines against COVID-19. The first results have already been published and other studies are ongoing, see television report on MDR (May 26. 2020). Related investigations have priority at the facilites. [more] |
Baltic Science Network Mobility Programme for Research Internships (BARI)
 |
BARI offers summer research internships with appropriate academic training across the Baltic Sea Region to students with interest in Life Sciences, Photon & Neutron Science and Welfare State. During their internship, students will assist in research and lab work for a proposed project. They will be hosted by research groups, laboratories, and doctoral students who wish to strengthen their ties within the Baltic Sea Region by hosting a motivated and well-qualified student. Successful applicants will receive a scholarship to help cover living expenses and travel costs. Funding is available for a period of up to three months. [more]

The KFS has surveyed the users of synchrotron radiation in Germany
 |
Nearly 900 users of synchrotron radiation have taken part in the survey that the KFS has conducted in the end of 2018 and in the beginning of 2019. This gave us valuable insights into your needs and focuses. The survey shows that the research with synchrotron radiation has a highly diversified user community. Scientists from universities, governmental institutions and industry use a variety of methods to work on their problems concerning materials, energy, technology, health, information and other challenges. Not only physicists, chemists and biologists, but also engineers, geo- and environmental scientists, researchers in art & culture and interdisciplinary researchers depend on the methods of synchrotron radiation.
