The distributed research infrastructure EUSMI provides the community of soft-matterresearchers with an open-access infrastructure to support and extend their research,ESMI is bundling top-level scientific infrastructure of 18 research groups in 15 partnerinstitutions from 10 different countries, among them two industrial partners on threeplatforms for characterization, synthesis, and modelling.The use of EUSMI installations is offered free of charge and financial contribution torelated travel and accommodation costs is granted to successful applications fromacademia and from industry, thanks to financial support from the European Union’sHorizon 2020 research and innovation programme.Access is offered to infrastructures covering the full chain of functional soft-mattermaterial research, ranging from advanced material characterization by a full suite ofspecialized experimental installations, including large-scale facilities, chemical synthesisof a full set of soft-matter materials, up-scaling of laboratory synthesis, to modelling byhigh-performance supercomputing. In more detail, the offered installations comprisesaccess to- a neutron scattering facility- a coherent x-ray beam line- most advanced electron microscopes- world leading synthesis laboratories- Europe’s leading labs for NMR and dielectric spectroscopy- one of the fastest supercomputers in Europe- about 70 highly specialized instruments for a large variety of experiments.Application for access to the infrastructure offered is possible after registration as aregular user at the EUSMI web portal (www.eusmi-h2020.eu). To guarantee highscientific standard of the proposed research, formally eligible proposals will be evaluatedby the scientist in charge of the requested installation and by two members of the EUSMIReview Panel which consists of internationally renowned experts in the field.The existing infrastructure is continuously improved and advanced by Joint ResearchActivities (JRA), and an ambitious networking programme is ensuring efficientdissemination and communication, as well as continued education of establishedresearchers and training of an emerging generation of scientists.Further information about the network, detailed descriptions of the installations and theonline proposal system are available at www.eusmi-h2020.eu . |
