The distributed research infrastructure EUSMI provides the community of soft-matter researchers with an open-access infrastructure to support and extend their research. EUSMI is bundling top-level scientific infrastructure of 18 research groups in 15 partner institutions from 10 different countries, among them two industrial partners on three platforms for characterization, synthesis, and modelling. The use of EUSMI installations is offered free of charge and financial contribution to related travel and accommodation costs is granted to successful applications from academia and from industry, thanks to financial support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.Access is offered to infrastructures covering the full chain of functional soft-matter material research, ranging from advanced material characterization by a full suite of specialized experimental installations, including large-scale facilities, chemical synthesis of a full set of soft-matter materials, up-scaling of laboratory synthesis, to modelling by high-performance supercomputing. In more detail, the offered installations comprise access 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. Applications for access to the offered infrastructure is possible after registration as a regular user at the EUSMI web portal. To guarantee high scientific standard of the proposed research, proposals will be evaluated the EUSMI Review Panel, which consists of internationally renowned experts in the field. Besides descriptions of the available installations and the online proposal system, scientific case stories will be presented to illustrate the potential of the services offered. |
