SOLARIS hosted its users on the Centre's doorstep for the third time in its history. The three-day “Joint Meeting of PSRS Members and SOLARIS Centre Users” concluded on September 13. This unique meeting brought together scientists using techniques available at SOLARIS with Polish Synchrotron Radiation Society members.

Last Saturday, September 7, 2024, we celebrated the 10th birthday of the Świętokrzyskie Leonardo da Vinci Science Center. During the event there was an official presentation of the results of the project entitled: “Leonardo's Future Explorers 2024”, in which the main prize was a tour of the SOLARIS Centre.

The one-and-a-half-year work on the CIRI beamline has come to an end. On August 27, 2024, the project team announced the completion of the CIRI construction phase. The final quarter of this year is set for the line to be put into operation and for its opening ceremony to take place.

We're happy to announce that the Autumn 2024 SOLARIS call for proposals is already open! The deadline for submitting proposals is the 1st of October 2024 at 23:59 CET. Accepted experiments are planned to be carried out from March to August 2025.
