Description

This seminal session has two parts. Part 1 will launch and premiere the Letters of Support for the AfLS, received from Institutions and light sources, world wide. Also included are the MoUs and MoAs concluded so far. The AfLS is both an organisation and a broad umbrella for organisations that all share a vision of the AfLS. Part 2 will be an opportunity for Directors of selected Light Sources to showcase their facilities, its scientific highlights and also, to use the opportunity to pass on wisdom and advice. The Light Source Directors will consider questions, and can answer them as a coherent collective, or in their own way. The questions are: 1 - What were the important arguments motivating a light source for your facility ? 2 - How was government(s) and the community engaged ? 3 - Why did you pick the design you have ? 4 - What are you best highlights of research ? 5 - How has it boosted the scientific community ? 6 - How has it boosted capacity building, competitive industry, asociated science park formation, economic competitiveness ?
