Summary of the talk:

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) is a joint European research institute where X-rays are used to study materials in many fields, such as chemistry, material physics, archaeology and art history, structural biology and medical applications, environmental sciences, information science and nanotechnology. On 2020, the ESRF opened its completely rebuilt x-ray source, ESRF-EBS (Extremely Brilliant Source), the world’s first fourth-generation high-energy synchrotron. With a brand-new generation of high-energy synchrotron, the ESRF is the world's brightest X-ray source and an extraordinary new tool for scientists to study the heart of matter. The ESRF is a cooperation with 21 partner nations, and the use of the facility is free for researchers from the participating nations. The aim of this talk is to present the ESRF capabilities to researchers and prospective new users, and to advice anyone interested in doing experiments at the ESRF with the proposal process and experimental procedures.
