Project description
Harnessing the power of collaboration across Europe and the Middle East
In an era of rapid scientific advancements, the strong foundation of shared expertise and experience is bringing the European and Middle Eastern synchrotrons and free electron lasers closer. As a collaborative effort, the EU-funded CALIPSOplus project is propelling the completion of the European Research Area (ERA) while addressing the challenges presented by the EU's commitment to Open Science, Open Innovation, and Openness to the world. Building upon a rich legacy of integrated activities, CALIPSOplus fosters strong integration in user access, support, instrumentation, data analysis, and management. It will pioneer a Trans-national Access programme, catering to users SMEs. This initiative will be accompanied by an awareness campaign to educate local industries about the potential benefits of using light sources.
Objective
In the present project, CALIPSOplus, the relevant synchrotrons and free electron lasers in Europe and the Middle East join forces to contribute to the completion of ERA and to tackle the new challenges arising from the commitment of the EU to Open science, Open innovation and Open to the world. Integration with respect to user access, support, instrumentation, data analysis and data management is strongly pushed forward by this advanced community, looking back at a long tradition of integrated activities funded under FP6 and FP7, and largely profiting from the experiences already gained. The European Synchrotron and FEL User Organisation will be consolidated and the performance and use of the wayforlight portal as pivotal platform of the light sources community will be boosted. Data management of the different facilities will be harmonised and a data management plan for the CALIPSOplus consortium be defined. Particular focus will be on leveraging scientific excellence in EU-13 countries and on widening the use of light sources by users from these regions. This will be achieved by visits to universities in these countries, by dedicated schools and by an especially set-up Twinning programme. As a pilot action a specific Trans-national Access programme will be offered for users from SMEs, closely related to an awareness raising campaign for light sources use and the role of light sources as customers among local industry around the facilities.
Joint Research Activities will focus on metrology of diffraction limited optics in collaboration with the manufacturing industry, of particular importance for the new hard X-ray free electron lasers as well as for the next generation synchrotrons, and on software tools for remote data analysis. Focusing on the horizon beyond 2020, established programmes and activities of the light source community will be evaluated with respect to their future importance and corresponding sustainability and business plans will be developed.
