Synchrotron SOLEIL Users Organization (S2UO)
WELCOME
At SOLEIL Management instigation, this organization was introduced by the gathering of potential SOLEIL users, who besides organized the first one Users ' Meeting in January, 2006.
Then, elections took place in May 2006, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023, and SOLEIL Users’ Association has a representative elected committee.
These two parts are independent so much of SOLEIL Management, of SOLEIL Board of Directors, that of SOLEIL Peer Review Committees.
The Charterof this association was validated by the users’ organisation.
SOLEIL users association owes to insure a mission of animation, coordination and initiatives so that SOLEIL is an effective scientific tool to serve the community of users.
Your membership to SOLEIL Users’ Association and all comments and/or suggestions you may make are the guarantee of SOLEIL optimal functioning.
