9. EUCALL’s Strategic Goals and (some) activities
Develop & implement cross-cutting services
for XFEL, ESRF and ELI
Optimize use of
advanced laser light
sources in Europe.
Stimulate & support common long-term strategies & research policies
Two relevant activities for this workshop:
Exchange experience with existing scientific application and facility operation
Develop vision for future & new scientific applications
We chose ‘biology (or life sciences) applications’ since these are very important in terms of societal impact and there are in the focus of nearly all involved partner facilities

10. Biology applications and relevant techniques
Goals of this Workshop
Experience exchange between operators, scientific staff, users and industry of synchrotrons, free-electron lasers and optical laser facilities
Biology applications and relevant techniques
Foster understanding of what the synergies between the different sub-groups are, as well as how to identify and develop them and later to extend these synergies into other communities
Invited presentations
Poster session (42 posters) + dinner
