At a meeting in Amman on 8 March 2012, representatives of four SESAME Members (Iran, Israel, Jordan and Turkey) agreed to make voluntary contributions of US$5 million each towards the construction of SESAME over the four years 2012-15.
The SESAME Council met in Ankara on 7 and 8 December 2011.
The months of November and December have been particularly busy at SESAME. On Monday 28 November 2011 at 01:13, the microtron beam was successfully extracted from its final orbit (orbit 42) to be the full energy beam with 22.5 MeV, according to the specifications of the SESAME classical microtron. This eagerly awaited beam was obtained in the second session of full energy commissioning of the microtron.

Scientists see nuclear cooperation brightening in the Middle East through a breakthrough project involving Jordan, Egypt, Israel, the Palestinian Authority and other partners.
Synchrotron light sources enable the study of matter on scales ranging from biological cells to atoms using light with photon energies ranging from milli-electron Volts (far-infra-red) to 100 kilo- electron Volts (very hard X-rays).
The 9th SESAME Users' Meeting will be held in Amman, Jordan and will cover various disciplines of applied synchrotron radiation research interests of the SESAME users' community.
The objective of the workshop is to provide highly motivated trainees interested in the fields of climate modeling and high performance computing the fundamental skills in climate research and numerical modeling.
