The international committee of directors of synchrotron sources worldwide voted for the ESRF and SOLEIL to organise the next meeting because of the scientific programme presented, the scholarships and tutorials offered for young scientists and the plan to involve industry and other lightsources more actively in the event.
Because of the joint collaboration, the meeting will happen in Lyon, a thriving French city in the heart of Europe, one hour away from Grenoble and two from Paris via high-speed trains. The event is open to the participation of other European sources and some have already signed in for satellite workshops.
