ESRFEBS SCIENCE THAT SERVES I 19

Current examples include the European

Battery HUB, which accelerates advances in

energy storage and the Human Organ Atlas

HUB which is building a highresolution

imaging resource for biomedical research

BAGs longestablished in structural biology

have been extended to other disciplines They

group researchers with common scientific

or technical interests enabling collective

beamtime planning and maximising

experimental throughput Examples include

the Historical Materials BAG (cultural

heritage), SHOCK BAG (extreme conditions),

Additive Manufacturing BAG 3D printing

and CHRONOS BAG geological processes

These access modes enhance efficiency

support crossdisciplinary projects and

strengthen collaboration enabling the

research community to respond more

swiftly to todays scientific challenges and

evolving societal needs
