Welcome to the 14th annual meeting of Finnish Synchrotron Radiation User Organisation (FSRUO)! The event brings together current and potential users of synchrotron radiation and free-electron lasers in Finland. It offers a diverse overview of the current research activities carried out with these methods, supported by inspiring keynote presentations and room for social interaction and discussions. The meeting is open to everyone interested in utilizing international large-scale light source facilities in their research.

Registration
Call for abstracts for oral presentation is now closed, but registration for non-presenting participants and abstract submission for poster presentations is open until November 14, 2023. In case we need to limit the number of participants, presenters and those who registered first will have priority. The event will be free of charge (including dinner).
