Brasil Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory - LNLS – (NEW) Materials Science The LNLS operates the only Synchrotron Light Source in Latin America and a set of scientific instrumentation for the analysis of organic and inorganic materials; The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Source (LNLS) aims to make available to the scientific and technological community experimental facilities in state of art, in an open, multi-user and multi-disciplinary to foster excellence and complex research, thus contributing to the development of STI in the country and promoting international integration The Institute is open to users, and researchers worldwide can come to perform their experiments. To do this, proposals can be submitted twice per year. All the proposals are evaluated by an external committee, and those approved will receive beam-time in the following semester. Brasil Brazilian Bioethanol Sci&Tech Laboratory - CTBE – (NEW) Bio Fuel The CTBE investigates new technologies in bioenergy The CTBE is a National Laboratory that operates with the scientific and technological community and the Brazilian productive sector, aiming to contribute to the maintenance of competence of the Country in the production of sugarcane ethanol and other compounds from biomass. The CTBE Mission is contributing to the advancement of scientific technological knowledge in the production, use and conversion of biomasses on energy materials, through research, development, innovation and personnel training
France Système de Production d'Ions Radioactifs et de 2éme génération - SPIRAL2 - nuclear physics, atomic physics, material sciences, research for hadron and isotope therapy. SPIRAL2 is a new facility that will be scientifically and technologically complementary to the existing infrastructure, GANIL. SPIRAL2 is supported by the existing structure of GANIL for both personnel and technological development needs and will be operated as part of the GANIL facility. SPIRAL2, which is as large as the current GANIL facility, will produce the only ion beams of their kind in the world. The fields of experimentation with SPIRAL2 range from radiotherapy to the physics of the atom and its nucleus, from condensed matter to astrophysics. SPIRAL2 will reinforce the European leadership in the field of nuclear physics based on exotic nuclei. It is proposed that partners (or their representatives) join the GIE GANIL-SPIRAL2 as scientific partners having voting rights in the Scientific and Strategy Committees and as such fully participate in the definition of the scientific policy of the facility. The partners participating in the running costs of the facility will acquire rights to propose and perform experiments at the preferential conditions defined in the corresponding bilateral agreements between the partner and the GIE GANIL-SPIRAL2. International partners will participate actively in the construction of the RI and associated detector systems. They would bring their expertise, know-how and additional funds to the one of the world-leading nuclear physics RI.
Russian Federation Super synchrotron radiation source of the 4th generation (SSRS-4) the web site construction (NEW) Physics and materials science. The synchrotron radiation source of the 4th generation will have high space coherence corresponding to laser radiation, high brightness and temporal pattern. The main scientific directions are used SRS-4 will be consisted in researching of structure and dynamics of substance with atomic space and femtosecond temporal resolution, developing new synthesis and characterization of nanostructure materials, researching in sphere of biomedicine, etc. Technical characteristics: photon energy – 1-30 keV, average luminiosity – about 1024 photons∙sec∙mm-2∙mgrad-2, duration of an electronic bunch – 0,1 ps. The representatives of NRC “Kurchatov Institute”, ANL, DESY, ESRF, SLAC and SPRING-8 recognize the importance of X-ray science for the future development of International Society beyond 2020 and signed Agreement on International Design Effort for the Future Light Source (Moscow Communiqué). The purpose of the Agreement is to collaborate on design of unique new generation facility on the basis of Synchrotron Radiation Source of the 4th generation. The SSRS-4 project is open for collaboration with International Research Centers which activities are based on using the synchrotron radiation sources. Russian Federation Exawatt Center for Extreme Light Studies (XCELS) (NEW) Fundamental Physics and materials science. A large research infrastructure – the Exawatt Center for Extreme Light Studies, will be a new unique source of light having the power of about 200 Petawatt with a further prospect to increase it up to 1 Exawatt (1 Exawatt = 1018 W) and beyond. The research program includes such scientific direction as high energy physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and biomedicine.

European Commission (EIRoforum) European Molecular Biology Laboratory EMBL (NEW) Molecular Life Sciences EMBL is the only laboratory-based intergovernmental organisation specialising in basic research in the life sciences. It is supported by 21 Member States and 2 Associate Member States, and has also three Prospect Member States. EMBL has a fivefold mission which includes: • performing state-of-the-art basic research in molecular biology; • training scientists, students and visitors at all levels; • offering vital scientific services to scientists in the member and associate member states; • developing new instruments and methods and actively engaging in technology transfer; • integrating life sciences across Europe and globally All opportunities under EMBL’s five missions – collaborative research, training of young talent, access to cutting-edge technology, facilities and expertise, integration of national scientific communities in the larger EMBL network of excellence, etc. – are made available to Member and Associate Member States of EMBL. Non-European countries with a well-developed national life science programme can become an Associate Member State of EMBL, benefiting from a reduced membership fee. European Countries, i.e. of the Council of Europe, can join EMBL as Member States. The membership offers an important opportunity to EMBL and the Member or Associate Member to improve the quality of research through competitively striving for excellence, assembling critical mass, facilitating the flow of ideas and perspectives, avoiding duplication, and enabling complementarity and synergy at the national, regional and international level.
