12/07/17 Enric Millo has had the chance to see the experimental hall of ALBA as well as the eight different beamlines currently in operation. By the hand of Caterina Biscari and Ramon Pascual, he has been able to know how the synchrotron works and its wide range of applications in fields like medicine, electronics or chemistry.
During the visit, Millo has talked with the scientists who were performing their experiments in the beamlines at that moment, so he has had the opportunity to ask them about their interesting researches. Moreover, he has congratulaed the researchers and has highlighted the relevance of scientific infrastructure such as ALBA in increasing knowledge and scientific competitivity. Equally, ALBA managers have recognized the role of the administration in preserving quality research.
