FESP Objectives Assessment of Infrastructures in Europe:
synchrotrons (EUROSYNC), NMR facilities, EM, protein production, bioinfomatics…
Clustering/networking, establishing discussion fora and gateways between disciplines & projects and industry (pharma/biotech).
To debate and elaborate a proposal on the current/future policies needed for SG/SP in Europe (at national and European levels).
To get media and institutional visibility by highlighting the achievements and challenges of SG/SP in a position paper.

• European Synchrotron Radiation Users Group– Steering Committee - 5 members
– Reference Group -16 users, 4 synchrotron representatives
• Objectives– Assessment of synchrotrons from a user’s perspective
– Survey of available MX beam lines in Europe
– Present/future status of these beam lines
– Current and future beam time requirements
– Type of beam lines and associated infrastructure for SG/SP users
– Is there a need for dedicated beam lines for SG/SP?
