Objective
Light sources, including both synchrotron radiation facilities and free electron lasers, play a key and expanding role in many fields of science. The increasing power of third and fourth generation sources is providing experimentalists with the capability to probe ever more complex processes.
The theoretical support effort needed to analyse and interpret these experiments is now beyond the reach of any one-theory group. By pooling the expertise of theory groups located across Europe, we can create a virtual theory centre with the critical mass of knowledge needed to provide world leading theoretical support for SR users. The network will enhance experimental access to light sources by providing access to state of the art computer codes and methods for the analysis and interpretation of data.
A program library will be established and timely and appropriate training in the use of codes developed by the network will be made available. In addition to pooling existing codes into a centralised library, the network will develop methods for the analysis and interpretation of a wide variety of experiments being performed at light sources. New experimental techniques and developments will be closely monitored and appropriate scientific workshops including both theoretical and experimental research groups will be held where necessary.
This will greatly enhance the access of users involved in state of the art experiments. Given the cost of construction and operation of dedicated light sources such a network provides a timely and cost effective means of maximising scientific output from such facilities. Similar theoretical networks have been established in the USA and Japan, and it is anticipated that the proposed European network will benefit greatly from International collaboration where appropriate.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
