India has announced an investment of more than €7 million over five years, starting in 2026–27, in the Elettra 2.0 programme at the Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste research facility in Italy. Minister of State for Science and Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh made the announcement during a visit to the facility on November 13.
The funding will support next-generation synchrotron beamlines, which use intense light beams to study the structure of materials at very small scales. The upgraded facilities are expected to support research in chemistry, physics, advanced materials and structural biology.
Indian scientists have used the facility since 1998, making India its second-largest user after Italy.
