SYNERGI 2019, organised by The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) and the European Synchrotron (ESRF) in Lyon, France, on the 1st of April, focused on the sectors of chemicals, biotechnologies and catalysts. The programme included: - testimonials from industrialists who are regular users of advanced characterisation techniques available at the facilities; - flash-tutorials sessions; - face-to-face meetings to discuss projects and techniques organised in advance by a specific software. SYNERGI 2019 gathered 45 participants among which 47% were from Industry, 24% from the synchrotron or neutron facilities, 15% from academia and the remaining 15% are distributed among semi-public technology organisations, economic development agencies and learned societies.
