The grand challenges of our century to evolve from extensive wasteful development to sustainable economies is full understanding of the mechanisms which control the behavior of complex natural and man-made systems. This can be attained only through development of an integrated multidisciplinary approach. Many of the breakthroughs in investigations of a broad range of complex functional material systems have been made using the state-of-the art experimental techniques undergoing continuous developments at the synchrotron and free electron laser large scale facilities.
Recognizing the leading roles of these large scale research centers in paving the road to discoveries and further technological advancements, the recently established new research consortium in Europe called “The League of European Accelerator-Based Photon Sources (LEAPS)” is aiming at reaching a new level of cooperation, coordination and integration to better cope with cross-cutting scientific and technological challenges for knowledge-based design of advanced materials and better drugs. The poster will present an overview of the LEAPS strategy, goals and expected impacts in science and innovation.
