A new Master in Physics offered at Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi. Thank you for spreading the news among the Cultural Heritage community.
SESAME, that is located in a region which is the cradle of civilization, and possibly the richest in archaeological and cultural heritage, will be reinforcing cultural heritage research at SESAME through the INFN-CHNet network
Installation of the complete front-end and optics of HESEB, the Helmholtz-SESAME Beamline for soft X-ray spectroscopy, took place from 9th to 27th January at the ID 11 port of the SESAME ring.
SESAME joined hands on the global stage with forefront synchrotron light facilities and science laboratories in a school that helped young scientists to better familiarize themselves with synchrotron radiation and its many opportunities for their research work.
Synchrotron radiation sources have made profound impacts on the study of cultural and natural heritage, including non-destructive investigations of archaeological / historical objects, artworks and artefacts as well as human remains.
On Wednesday, the 1st of December 2021, the Academy for Scientific Research and Technology (ASRT), represented by Gina El Feky, and SESAME, represented by its Director, Khaled Toukan, signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Specific Agreement to expand collaboration between the two Organizations.
