The meeting is a relevant forum for discussions and information exchange about experimental techniques already available and in planning at Sirius
The 35th Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) Annual Users’ Meeting (RAU) already has a set date: The event takes place on November 5th and 6th at Sirius, the largest and most complex Brazilian synchrotron light source located on the CNPEM campus, in Campinas (SP).
At this year’s meeting, the presentations will highlight the community’s achievements over the past 35 years of RAU and also the 40th anniversary of the first Brazilian synchrotron light source project.
The event is an essential opportunity for evaluation and for presenting proposals to improve research facilities and instruments — identifying the needs and expectations of the Brazilian and international scientific community regarding Sirius.
Further information will soon be released on RAU’s official website and CNPEM’s institutional channels and social media.
About CNPEM
The Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) is home to a state-of-the-art, multi-user and multidisciplinary scientific environment and works on different fronts within the Brazilian National System for Science, Technology and Innovation. A social organization overseen by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI), CNPEM is driven by research that impacts the areas of health, energy, renewable materials, and sustainability. It is responsible for Sirius, the largest assembly of scientific equipment constructed in the country, and is currently constructing Project Orion, a laboratory complex for advanced pathogen research. Highly specialized science and engineering teams, sophisticated infrastructure open to the scientific community, strategic lines of investigation, innovative projects involving the productive sector, and training for researchers and students are the pillars of this institution that is unique in Brazil and able to serve as a bridge between knowledge and innovation. CNPEM’s research and development activities are carried out through its four National Laboratories: Synchrotron Light (LNLS), Biosciences (LNBio), Nanotechnology (LNNano), Biorenewables (LNBR), as well as its Technology Unit (DAT) and the Ilum School of Science — an undergraduate program in Science and Technology supported by the Ministry of Education (MEC).
