ISA is a Danish National Facility where research is carried out over a wide range of the natural and life sciences, including fundamental physics, material science, molecular biology and laboratory astrophysics, using accelerators and storage rings.

Apply for free-of-charge access to the AU-SRCD beam line through MOSBRI.

It is possible to apply for TNA through the EU H2020 programme MOSBRI. Proposals are accepted at any time through the MOSBRI website, but this is only applicable for access to the AU-SRCD facility at ASTRID2.

Apply for free-of-charge access to the AU-UV and MatLine beam lines through NEP.

It is possible to apply for TNA through the EU H2020 project NEP. Proposals are submitted through the NFFA website, but this is only applicable for access to the AU-UV and MatLine facilities at ASTRID2.

Support for TNA to ASTRID2 through NEPHEWS

With a special focus on users from EU widening countries, Ukraine and from countries without direct access to large scale research infrastructures in their country, it is possible to apply for TNA through the Horizon Europe project NEPHEWS. Applications for this support are accepted as part of ISA's annual call for proposals, and is applicable for access to all facilities on ASTRID2

The Nephews project offers virtual training events for newcomers in the usage of large-scale Research Infrastructures.

During the course of the project, Nephews will conduct four cycles of two-days of training in the following fields:

• Presentation of Research Capabilities of SR/FELs and N Facilities and their complementarity – introducing the research potential and synergies between Synchrotron Radiation (SR), Free Electron Lasers (FELs), and Neutron Research Infrastructures (N RI).
• Open Access RI – providing guidance on access procedures to large-scale RIs and the criteria for developing a successful beamtime proposal.

Access to the virtual training events is open to everyone and there is an opportunity for Q&A during the live events.

To find out more and register to take part in a virtual training event, visit the NEPHEWS website..

Circular Accelerator developments at IFA in the last 35+ years, by Søren Pape Møller

A personal story about the development of accelerators at IFA. Read about some of the history behind and the development of accelerator projects at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University. From CERN experiments in the late 70's to the construction of ASTRID2 in the 2010's and lots in between.
