A research team from Utrecht University, including Veerle Cnudde, Oliver Plümper, Richard Wessels and Geertje ter Maat, have secured funding for their EXCITE project (Electron and X-ray microscopy Community for structural and chemical Imaging Techniques for Earth materials). The three-year project, consisting of fifteen partners from nine European countries, will start on May 1st 2021.
The EXCITE starting community aims to enable access to high-end microscopy facilities and to join the knowledge and experience from the different partners. With that it is complementary to facility access offered by EPOS-NL and EPOS.
