Today, the Italian Ambassador Armando Varricchio and Consul General Dr. David Michelut visited European XFEL. Managing and Administrative Director Dr. Nicole Elleuche and Scientific Director Dr. Sakura Pascarelli talked to the guests about research at the international facility, in which Italy participates together with eleven other partner countries. During a tour of the experiment hall, the ambassador and the consul general spoke with several employees at the X-ray laser.
"Italy is a founding member and an important partner country of European XFEL. It was an honour to meet the Italian diplomats today, and we hope to be able to further expand the successful collaboration with Italy in the fields of research and development in the future," said Nicole Elleuche. "Important components of the X-ray laser came from Italy, and since commissioning, many researchers from Italy have successfully applied for experiment time with us," added Sakura Pascarelli. " Based on the time slots already awarded for the first half of the year and the number of new collaborations that have been established, we expect the number of successful research projects from Italy to increase in 2022."

Ambassador Armando Varricchio said: "Scientific research and experiments at European XFEL as well as at DESY have a profound impact on scientific progress. Italy has traditionally played a significant role, both in terms of shared contribution but above all, through the presence of numerous Italian scientists and researchers. The way information has been shared during the pandemic among scientific communities and the way scientists cooperated worldwide for the research in terms of treatment and vaccination, was pivotal for the management of the crisis and in many cases represents a blueprint for international cooperation."
