BIG MAP – Battery Interface Genome - Materials Acceleration Platform
Materials Acceleration Platform; Battery value chain; Artificial intelligence, Machine learning
Start date: 01/09/2020 – End date: 31/08/2023
The Battery Interface Genome – Materials Acceleration Platform (BIG-MAP) project is part of the large-scale and long-term European research initiative BATTERY 2030+. This H2020 project develops AI-assisted methods to accelerate the discovery of new materials and battery concepts. It is based on creating new experimental methods and computational models that can go hand in hand towards an understanding of the complex reactions that take place within the battery. It seeks to understand which electrode materials and electrolytes can be best combined to get a battery to store as much energy as possible or to be able to charge quickly in different situations.
BIGMAP gathers 34 partners representing 15 countries. SOLEIL is one of the six partners in France. This project is coordinated by DTU.
COXINEL - COherent Xray source INferred from Electrons accelerated by Laser
COXINEL Website - FP7 Ideas ERC
Laser Wakefield Accelerator (LWA); Free Electron Laser (FEL)
Start date:01/01/2014 – End date: 31/12/2018
COXINEL aimed at demonstrating the first lasing of an LWFA FEL and its detailed study in close interaction with the potential users. The key concept relies on an innovative electron beam longitudinal and transverse manipulation in the transport towards an undulator: a "demixing" chicane sorts the electrons in energy and reduces the spread from 1 % to a slice one of 0.1%, and the transverse density is maintained constant all along the undulator (supermatching). COXINEL enabled to master in Europe advanced schemes scalable to shorter wavelengths and pulses, paving the way towards FEL light sources on laboratory size, for fs time resolved experiments. Simulations for the COXINEL baseline reference case with 1 % energy spread, 1 mm.mrad emittance, 34 pC, 1 µm length shown that FEL amplification is possible with a 2 m long in-vacuum U20 undulator and down to 40 nm with an in-vacuum U15 undulators. During the first preliminary tests, the equipment’s commissioning started, and the electron beam was rapidly transported after the undulator when it was close, with a measured charge of 30 pC at the exit.
SOLEIL was the host institution and managed this FP7 Advanced ERC Grant.
ExPaNDS – EOSC Photon and Neutron Data Services
EOSC; Photon and Neutron RIs; FAIR data; Open data; Metadata catalogue; EOSC Data Analysis Services; Community engagement; Community training
Start date: 01/09/2019 – End date: 28/02/2023
ExPaNDS is the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Photon and Neutron Data Service. The ambitious ExPaNDS project is a collaboration between 10 national Photon and Neutron Research Infrastructures (PaN RIs) as well as EGI. The project aims to deliver standardised, interoperable, and integrated data sources and data analysis services for Photon and Neutron facilities. The outcomes of this project have been the publication of open data, the development of federated open data catalogues, EOSC-ready community Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (AAI), and services for remote data analysis, simulation and an e-learning platform.
SOLEIL is a partner of this project, which is coordinated by DESY and funded under the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
iNext Discovery – Infrastructure for transnational access and discovery in structural biology
iNext-Discovery | Infrastructure for NMR, EM and X-rays for Translational Research
Structural biology; NMR; EM; Crystallography; Protein; Translational research; Drug discovery; Health; Food; Biotechnology; User access
Start date: 01/02/2020 – End date: 31/07/2024
The iNEXT-Discovery consortium aims to facilitate the generation of knowledge for the development of new drugs, advanced vaccines, novel biomaterials, engineered enzymes for food production, efficient biofuels, and other benefits. iNEXT-Discovery does that by enabling leading European facilities to offer advanced technological instrumentation and expertise to all European scientists, allowing them to perform high-end structural biology research with state-of-the-art equipment that is often unavailable in their home countries.
SOLEIL is one of 23 partners from 14 countries offering access to European users. This H2020 project is coordinated by the NKI.
IPERION HS – Integrating Platforms for the European Research Infrastructure ON Heritage Science
Iperion HS | Integrating Platforms for the European Research Infrastructure ON Heritage Science
Heritage science; Research infrastructure; User access
Start date: 01/04/2020 – End date: 31/03/2024
Promoting heritage science is the goal of the EU-funded IPERION HS project. It established an Integrating Activity for a distributed pan-European research infrastructure, opening key national research facilities of recognised excellence in heritage science. The project is a further step towards a unified scientific approach to the most advanced European instruments for the analysis, interpretation, preservation, documentation and management of heritage objects. With 67 partners from 23 countries, 52 access providers and more than 180 services, IPERION HS core activity will offer cross-border access to an impressively wide range of high-level scientific instruments, methodologies, data and tools for advancing knowledge and innovation in the study and preservation of heritage. The project is coordinated by the CNR.
SOLEIL is one of the project’s third parties offering access to European users.
MAX IV – Cooperation Agreement
New large-scale facility; Technical and scientific skills; Design
Start date: 2011
The MAX lab synchrotron on the Lund University campus was replaced with a new synchrotron called MAX IV. Sweden made it known that it would like to benefit from SOLEIL’s scientific know-how during the construction of this new large-scale facility. As a result of this request, SOLEIL collaborated closely with the team overseeing this project. Experts at SOLEIL provided their technical and scientific skills and trained students and engineers working on the design and running of this new Swedish synchrotron.
PANORAMA – EuroPean trAining NetwOrk on Rare eArth elements environMental trAnsfer: from rock to human
Panorama | H2020 - International Training Networks (univ-rennes1.fr)
European Doctorate Programme; Rare Earth Elements (REE); Emerging pollutant; Experimentation; Bioassay; modelling; Transport; Speciation; Bioavailability; Reactivity
Start date: 01/06/2020 – End date: 31/05/2024
The PANORAMA project aims to consider the environmental impact of REE in its entirety. (Geo)chemists, (hydro)geologists and (eco)toxicologists, gathered within a consortium of 14 academic partners and 4 non-academic partners, will enable 15 PhD students to develop skillsets in basic and cross-cutting research. PANORAMA training shall enable them to obtain secure jobs in the academic, industrial, commercial, or political sectors, all within a high-level European intersectoral collaborative framework.
SOLEIL is a partner of this project, which is coordinated by Université de Rennes and funded under the EU Horizon 2020 MSCA programme.
TRANSLOCATION - Molecular basis of the outer membrane permeability
IMI Translocation – FP7 Joint Technology Initiative
Résistance antimicrobienne ; Maladies infectieuses ; New Drugs for Bad Bugs (ND4BB) ; Découverte de médicaments
Start date: 01/01/2013 – End date: 30/06/2018
The project TRANSLOCATION completed a five-year exploration of the ways in which bad bacteria protect themselves from attack by antibiotics. The project partners studied the proteins in the membranes of Gram-negative bacteria that can allow drug entry, and the efflux pumps that flush them out once they’ve found a way in. The project has solved several basic research questions and produced a wealth of new data that will contribute to solving persistent problems that are stalling the development of new antibiotics. The project also created a database to gather disparate data from other IMI antimicrobial resistance (AMR) projects and previous antimicrobial studies as a resource for researchers.
SOLEIL was one of the partners of this project, funded under the FP7-JTI - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Joint Technology Initiatives.
