Europe has the best portfolio of Advanced Research Infrastructures (ARIs) worldwide, serving a wide and dynamic academic community of many tens of thousands of scientists every year. These large-scale and unique facilities enable remarkable insights into materials of all types, particularly in engineering materials science. The research infrastructures are open not only for fundamental science, but are increasingly becoming a routine tool exploited for proprietary research by companies.
SYNERGI2018 (SYnchrotron and NEutron Radiation Go Industrial) will demystify Analytical Research Infrastructures for industry, demonstrating how they already help companies with focus on the engineering and materials science sector, and will discuss a future vision and expectation on how they should be better integrated into regional and European-wide innovation processes.
In a research-to-business matchmaking session, the conference will bring together both industrial researchers and facility scientists to discuss living R&D problems and how they could eventually be solved using the special techniques provided at Europe’s ARIs.
