Australian Participation in Synchrotron Sciences
- Synchrotron utilization by Australian researchers 2002-2004
- Synchrotron science-based activity by Australian Institutions
- ARC Seed-funding Proposal Applicants
Objectives of the Australian Synchrotron Sciences Network:
- To build awareness in the Australian research community of the new opportunities for research that the Australian Synchrotron will offer as a national research facility
- To form a vibrant, diverse, and coherent national community of current and potential Australian Synchrotron users prior to the launch of the facility in 2007
- To identify and facilitate fruitful national and international collaborations across institutions and disciplines
- To put in place a forum for current and potential users to contribute to the configuration of the facility and the scientific program as they evolve
- To disseminate information regarding the progress and achievements of synchrotron-based science in Australia, and to conduct workshops and symposia on emerging synchrotron science topics.
