Company Info
The ESRF synchrotron is an ambitious project that represents a very real technological, scientific and human challenge. It could only be international.
In 1988, twelve European countries joined forces to create the synchrotron in Grenoble. Since then, seven more countries have joined the group. Together they create the indispensable synergy needed to carry out advanced scientific research.
