Industry-Webinar: SLS 2.0 Upgrade Program

We are pleased to invite interested national and international companies to our information webinar for the SLS 2.0 (Swiss Light Source) upgrade project in Villigen, Switzerland.

This webinar will be broadcast on the 9th February 2020 from 10:00 to 12:30 CET.

The event is jointly organised by the PSI (Paul Scherrer Institute) and the Swiss ILO (Industry Liaison Office for Research Institutions). During this webinar we will provide information on the PSI procurement rules, an introduction to the SLS 2.0 project and an overview of the upcoming SLS 2.0 commercial tenders.

The Swiss Synchrotron Light Source SLS has been operating reliably since 2001. At its current total of 20 experimental stations, the facility has world-leading instruments. At some of these beamlines, the structure of proteins can be deciphered, at others researchers can look inside materials with a resolution of nanometres and also in 3D. Still others can be used to research how electrons behave in solids and how material properties can be understood, improved and used for new technologies.

The large-scale research facility is available to a large scientific community in Switzerland and worldwide. The upgrade of the SLS 2.0 is to be carried out between 2021 and 2024 to ensure that researchers will continue to have access to a facility at PSI that meets their needs, remains competitive and sets new trends.
