Description

A number of initiatives are in progress for creating and enhancing research and training via the utilization of synchrotron light sources and crystallography. For synchrotrons, there are the African Light Source, Greater Caribbean Light Source, and Central Asian Synchrotron Light Source inititiaves. For crystallography research and training hubs, there are X-TechLab in Benin (currently operating), CRXSTAL in Jamaica (soon to be operating), and another being created in Uzbekistan. In this presentation, we will give the latest updates on those initiatives and give projections about future activities.
