The stated outcomes of the SYLINDA project have been realized. The selection of consortium partners and their expertise made it possible to carry out the most important tasks in the project successfully. Study visits of young researchers to HN, SOLARIS and ALBA have been a great success. Young scientists not only had the opportunity to learn about research techniques at partner facilities, but also, through the knowledge gained, to build their own scientific awareness, which is reflected in the prepared publications or grant applications. The commissioning of the XAS ASTRA line proved to be another success. The range of measurements enabled by the ASTRA beamline makes it very popular. Is worth emphasizing that until the end of June 2024 more than 50 user groups have used the ASTRA beamline and more than 12 papers have been published or submitted for publication. Preparation and execution of two large events, namely the Industry Workshop and the SYLINDA Symposium (of which SOLARSI was an organizer) was a buckle that tied together the activities undertaken in the project in the sphere of developed cooperation with industry, as well as with the scientific community. Both events were attended by more than 340 people. It is worth emphasizing that the SYLINDA Symposium was attended by outstanding experts in the field of XAS from facilities in Thailand, the USA or Israel.
The interim and final results of the project were widely disseminated at numerous conferences or through the information channels of the project partners. The consortium as a whole disseminated the results of the SYLINDA project by participating in 9 conferences, 5 workshops and 3 exhibitions. In addition, information about the project was popularized by publishing 26 messages on social media, as well as by publishing 14 press releases.
