Description

State-of-the-art imaging is transforming how we study porous media, yet access to advanced facilities and expertise can remain a major barrier. In this talk, I will introduce the EXCITE Network, a European initiative that provides free-of-charge transnational access to leading imaging infrastructures and specialist support for Earth and Environmental sciences.
EXCITE brings together cutting-edge techniques, including X-ray and electron imaging and other advanced modalities, enabling researchers to tackle complex questions in porous media characterization and dynamic processes. The presentation will outline how the network works, what types of facilities and expertise are available, and how researchers can apply for access and engage in collaborative projects. The EXCITE Network offers a unique opportunity to accelerate high-impact research by lowering barriers to world-class imaging resources.
