Periodic Reporting for period 1 - EXCITE (Electron and X-ray microscopy Community for structural and chemical Imaging Techniques for Earth materials)
Berichtszeitraum: 2021-05-01 bis 2022-10-31
Once EXCITE was established as a starting community, the focus was on promoting transnational access to the facilities and forward joint research projects aiming to further the user experience and abilities during and post-access research. As such, more than 160 projects have already been granted access to the EXCITE facilities during two rounds of calls performing leading-edge science addressing questions from the origin of our solar system to the storage of hydrogen in the subsurface.
Joint research projects have focused on multi-scale imaging problems and incorporating machine-learning approaches into everyday research and development. The results of the joint research projects have already been communicated to a broad audience using various communication channels, from scientific conferences and publications to social media and industrial meetings.
