Opening Synchrotron Light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East

OPEN SESAME aims to ensure efficient exploitation of the Synchrotron light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME) large-scale research infrastructure by researchers across the SESAME Members and further afield in the Middle East. OPEN SESAME has three key objectives: 1) to train SESAME staff in the storage ring and beamline instrumentation technology, research techniques and administration for optimal use of a modern light source facility; 2) to build-up human capacity in SESAME Region researchers to optimally exploit SESAME’s infrastructure; 3) to train SESAME staff and its user community in public outreach and corporate communications, and to support SESAME and its stakeholders in building awareness and demonstrating its socio-economic impact to assure longer term exploitation.
