BESSY@HZB User Meeting
With the series of annual user meetings we bring together our user community to intensify scientific exchange and stimulating new collaborations. The meetings will provide an overview of the many exciting and inspiring research results obtained at our facility in the past year. Plenary talks, discussions, a public lecture and a poster session will provide vast possibilities of information and discussion.

Country of Honour 2024 - Romania
To make international integration and cooperation more visible, each BESSY@HZB User Meeting will be accompanied by a country of honour. This year’s country of honour is Romania and we are pleased to invite 10 Romanian scientists from different Romanian Universities who will participate in the user meeting.
This invitation is directed to post docs and junior professors at the early stage of their scientific career. We will organise an interesting programme with laboratory tours and scientific lectures. HZB will reimburse travel expenses up to 500 Euros and provides accommodation in our guesthouse from December 9 (Monday) to December 13 (Friday) free of charge.
The registration form is closed. Thank you very much for your interest.
Poster Session
The poster session is an excellent opportunity to present and discuss your latest research results. A committee will recognize the best poster presentation and will select a 'Best Poster Award' winner on the basis of the poster's content, appearance and presentation quality. Poster award winners must be present during winners announcement time to be eligible for the 'Best Poster Award'. All posters will be on display in the BESSY II experimental hall until next year's user meeting.
| Please note that all posters have to be in DIN A0 landscape format: 120 cm (width) x 84 cm (height) |

Vendor Exhibition
An important part of our user meeting is the vendor exhibition, which is running alongside the meeting. We provide your organisation with the great opportunity to present your products to a large number of high impact customers. Each year we expect some 300 participants; surely a significant number for presenting your company, and a good chance to get in contact with new customers using synchrotron radiation and performing experiments at BESSY II. For more detailed information on how to join the vendor exhibtion please go to the vendor exhibition webpage.
