Analytical Research Infrastructures of Europe (ARIE) just released a joint position paper addressing potential viral and microbial threats. This way, the consortium enhances its cross-border, multidisciplinary collaboration to offer Europe a strong and valid weapon against the present COVID-19 challenge and other possible, similar future crises.
The ARIEs are centers of scientific and technological excellence, delivering services, data and expertise to a growing and diverse user community of more than 40,000 researchers in academia and industry, across a range of domains: the physical sciences, energy, engineering, the environment and the earth sciences, as well as medicine, health, food and cultural heritage. They include powerful photon sources, such as synchrotrons, laser systems and free-electron lasers; sources of neutrons, ions and other particle beams; and facilities dedicated to advanced electron-microscopy and high magnetic fields. EMFL is part of the ARIEs consortium.
