MISSION Global leadership in synchrotron research and development National center of excellence of academic expertise Advance industrial competitiveness Venue to facilitate cooperative fundamental and applied science and technology Operate an industry friendly, not-for-profit facility Canadian Light Source Incorporated

NSERC Review : 

NSERC Review International Peer Review Panel – Sept. 8-10 Facility Mangement and Operations Readiness Beamline Team Scientific Program Peer Review Final Report Supportive of: Selection of Beamlines for Phase I and II Outstanding Scientific Programs of Beamteams CLS Management and Planning for Operations User Community Interactions CLS – USASK Joint Integration Concern: “…there is a real danger that this opportunity will be squandered by inadequate operations support of the facility.” “The operations budget planned for the CLS is only about 60% of the funds available for comparable facilities abroad.”
