Trans-national Access within CALIPSOplus

The CALIPSOplus Consortium offer Trans-national Access (TA), including travel and subsistence support, to users from EU Member States or Associated States solely based on scientific merit. The Trans-national Access program within CALIPSOplus  includes access to a very large number of individual beamlines (several hundreds in total), representing a world-level cutting edge instrumentation park and a unique research network in the world as of level and dimension.

Lightsources integrated in CALIPSOplus

The Trans-national Access program is organised in individual work packages (WP6 to WP21) for each facility/infrastructure. This concept is the most appropriate and efficient organisation for the very large number of individual beamlines (several hundreds in total) distributed over 16 different legal entities having their own rules and procedures.

The numbered cycles are referenced to the respective Trans-National Access Activity in the CALIPSOplus work packages. An overview and more detailed description of the CALIPSOplus Trans-national Access Activities you can find here.
