Project’s summary



The project is based on the joint initiative of innovation centres, scientific and technological parks, and research centers, placed in several regions of the Programme area. The activities, jointly developed by partners, are finalised to the creation of a cross border cluster for the development and realisation of innovative light sources and for their exploitation in no-profit research and development areas with relevant scientific and technological impact.

The overall cost of the project is 2.810.946,50 EUR and it will last 4 years. The project will harmonically develop at all Partners sites. It will offer the opportunity to set up a strong and lasting collaboration between the excellence centre at Elettra - Sincrotrone Trieste, within the FERMI@Elettra Project, and the new excellence centre that will be built at the University of Nova Gorica, thanks to the Programme funding.

The project is organized in work packages (WP)

WP 1

(Coordination and management)
Activity 1
Coordination and financial management

The activity will include a preliminary set up of a “parallel accounting project” to ensure a clear identification of the costs of implementation of all planned activities.


WP 2

(Preliminary studies and staff selection)
Activity 1
Design of the light source and planning of femtochemistry experiments

Activity 2
Staff selection


WP 3

(Realization, purchase and testing of subsystems required for the implementation of the light source at LP; preparation of samples of chemical interest)
Activity 1
Realization, purchase and testing of subsystems required for the implementation of the light source at LP; preparation of samples of chemical interest

Activity 2
Realization, purchase and testing of the remaining subsystems necessary to the implementation of the light source at LP


WP 4

(Implementation and characterization of the source at LP)
Activity 1
Set up of the laboratory which will host the light source at LP.

Activity 2
Characterization and optimization of the source.

Activity 3
Femtochemistry experiments preparation.


WP 5

(Femtochemistry experiments)
Activity 1
Ultrafast spectroscopy experiments on systems of interest for femtochemistry at LP

Activity 2
Installation of the experimental station at the free-electron laser developed at PP1 (FERMI@Elettra) and femtochemistry experiments using this source


WP 6

(Communication plan)
Activity 1
Information and communication

Activity 2
Logo creation, design and graphic layout of information material
