Collaborative Research

One of the major aims of the ETSF is to broaden the accessibility of modern first principles theories and calculations of spectroscopy by fostering collaboration between theorists from the ETSF's core and associate groups, and researchers from other communities. This collaboration facilitates:

• deeper interpretation of experimental data;
• guidance for new experimental efforts;
• prediction of materials' properties.

Analogous with users of existing large experimental research infrastructures, such as synchrotron facilities, scientists from any other organisation, public- or private-sector, can propose projects for which, if they are accepted by the evaluation process, scientific and technical support will be provided by ETSF members.

To initiate a collaboration with the ETSF, users are invited to contact the coordinator of the relevant beamline and submit a proposal.
