The main goal of the conference is to facilitate dialogue between research institutions, infrastructure users, and industry regarding advanced materials for energy challenges, with a focus on sustainable development. Participation in the meeting is an excellent opportunity to learn about global achievements in this area, and all 16 directors of European synchrotron infrastructures have confirmed their presence at the event. The event organised by the National Synchrotron Radiation Centre SOLARIS on behalf of LEAPS (League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources), will gather representatives from 16 European synchrotron infrastructures and industry representatives to jointly discuss the future of energy in Poland.
