About the ETSF

The European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility is an e-infrastructure dedicated to providing support and services for ongoing research in academic, government and industrial laboratories. Comprised of 10 core groups across Europe and associated groups worldwide, the ETSF carries out state-of-the-art research on theoretical and computational methods for studying electronic and optical properties of materials. All fields in need of knowledge about electronic excitations, transport and spectroscopy will benefit from the ETSF, such as condensed matter physics and chemistry, biology, materials and nano science. The ETSF gathers the experience and know-how of more than 200 researchers in Europe and the United States, facilitating innovation and rapid knowledge transfer. The ETSF is headquartered in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.

Our main objective is to broaden access to the knowledge and the expertise we have built up in the field of theoretical spectroscopy across the public and private sector.

The ETSF is organised within a three-shell structure. The core and associate shell share the responsibility for scientific development but only the groups of the core handle management and administrative tasks. The user shell consists of all users benefitting from the ETSF.

The research topics covered within the different ETSF groups are divided into seven different beamlines.
