Imagine having a super-powered microscope that can see through solid metal or map atoms in a drug molecule. This project opens the doors to Europe's most powerful 'giant microscopes' for scientists who usually can't afford or access them. It's like a global membership club that trains new users to use these massive machines to solve complex material mysteries.
High-end material analysis tools are often inaccessible to non-experts and researchers in developing regions due to cost and lack of technical training.
A coordinated access program providing 38,290 hours of facility time and 135 twinning training experiments.
If you are a biotech company dealing with unknown protein structures in new medicines — this project provides access to 451 user experiments and photon sources that reveal molecular secrets. This helps in designing more effective drugs through high-resolution imaging.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with microscopic cracks in aerospace components — this project opens access to neutron sources that see inside materials. This allows for better quality control and material durability testing.
If you are a developer dealing with battery degradation during charging cycles — this project offers 38,290 hours of funded access to advanced research infrastructures. This enables real-time observation of chemical changes inside the battery.
Based on available project data, the project provides TNA funding to cover access costs for researchers, specifically targeting those from widening countries, Ukraine, and Africa.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on curiosity-driven research and training rather than industrial scaling, though it utilizes the largest and most advanced consortia in Europe.
The provided data does not specify IP or licensing terms; it focuses on providing access and training for 902 researchers.
The project provides in-depth hands-on expert training through 135 twinning experiments to help non-expert users become proficient.
The project is active from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and academia, featuring 13 research organizations and 5 universities across 16 countries. Industrial participation is very low at 4%, with only 1 SME involved, indicating that the project's primary value is in expanding scientific capacity and training rather than immediate commercial product development.
