The German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has published the "Directive for Funding Selected Topics in Research on Matter at Large Scale Facilities" (former joint research). Proposal deadline is November 1, 2021 and funding is planned to start on July 1, 2022. [Information by PT DESY] [Publication Bundesanzeiger] |
19 August 2021: Preparing proposals for new instrumentation or software
 |
DESY and HZB offer workshops for exchange and preparation of ErUM-Pro proposals in September:
DESY: 'Match-Making' -Workshop (video conference) on Sept. 16 and 17, 2021. At this workshop, the operators of the radiation sources will present their development and expansion strategy for the coming years. Furthermore, applicants and user groups will be given the opportunity to present their ideas for instrumentation proposals and to coordinate these with the radiation source operators and, if necessary, also with each other. [more information] [registration until Sept. 10, 2021]
HZB: ErUm-Pro-Workshop at BESSY II (Verbundforschung) on Sept. 22, 2021. In order to give potential applicants some feedback on their plans, there will be an online workshop on Wednesday, 22nd September 2021, from 9:00-15:00 where project ideas should be presented and discussed. If you are planning to apply for Verbundforschung at one of the BESSY II-Instruments, please contact Esther Dudzik until the end of August. [more]

To fight COVID-19, we need vaccines and medicine, and to develop these, we need to know the SARS-CoV-2 virus in detail. The virus cannot be seen with a normal light microscope, since it is smaller than the wavelength of visible light. Synchrotrons can produce the short-wave photons or X-rays required. It is of great advantage that we have an outstanding research infrastructure established in the last decades, both in Germany and abroad with German participation. Synchrotron light source facilities include PETRA III and FLASH at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg, BESSY II at the Helmholtz Centre Berlin (HZB), European XFEL near Hamburg or ESRF in Grenoble, France. They allow the virus to be imaged with atomic precision. [more] |
