Serve as a global leader in the field of theoretical spectroscopy. Assist experimentalists, commercial enterprises, and governments in areas such as materials science, chemistry, biology, and nanoelectronics to enable revolutionary technologies of the future.
The ETSF aims to broaden access, across both public and private sectors, to the knowledge and expertise that have been gained within the field of theoretical spectroscopy. This objective will be achieved by:
The ETSF, composed of more than 200 researchers, extends the potential of theoretical spectroscopy by developing more efficient and more accurate methods and techniques.
The ETSF offers scientific codes that translate state-of-the-art methods into tools for studying the properties of real materials. Scientific programmers and software engineers support ETSF researchers in developing and providing efficient, user-friendly, and well-documented codes.
The ETSF regularly organizes training events targeted at young researchers pursuing, or wishing to pursue, a career in the area of theoretical spectroscopy. This service can be extended upon request to other users, e.g. experimentalists, scientists working in industry, or researchers working in a similar field. ETSF users can apply for specifically targeted training, for small groups or for a single person.
In analogy to large experimental research infrastructures, such as synchrotron facilities, the ETSF users can propose projects for which scientific and technical support is provided by ETSF researchers.
