Horizon Europe EIC-Pathfinder Project TECHNO-CLS: "Emerging technologies for crystal-based gamma-ray light sources"
TECHNO-CLS project aims at the breakthrough in technologies needed for designing and practical realisation of novel gamma-ray Light Sources (LS) operating at photon energies from ~100 keV up to GeV range that can be constructed through exposure of oriented crystals (linear, bent and periodically bent) to the beams of ultra-relativistic charged particles.
The workshop aimed to bring together the members of the TECHNO-CLS consortium and industry to develop and commercialize CLS technology, to strengthen links with companies interested in this technology and its applications and to allow the project to engage with important stakeholders in the future development of CLS. In the workshop, private companies were expected to participate, with focus on companies interested in developing CLS to the market place, manufacture of commercially viable CLS and on the application of CLSs.
The Workshop was a second meeting with stakeholders following the TECHNO-CLS workshop held on October 5-6, 2023 in Ferrara, Italy.
The meeting was held in Rehtymno, Crete on October 9-11, 2024. The workshop was organized by the Institute of Plasma Physics Lasers of the Hellenic Mediterranean University and MBN Research
Center gGmbH. The photograph of the city of Rethymno was given to the organisers of the TECHNO-CLS workshop by photographer George Katakis.
The Workshop was followed by the WG-meeting of the COST Action 20129 MultiChem.
Most of the TECHNO-CLS partners have attended the meeting and presented the current progress of the project and its future objectives.
Venue
The meeting took place at the Institute of Plasma Physics & Lasers (IPPL) located in Rethymno, Crete, Greece. The address of the venue is IPPL, Tria Monastiria, Rethymno 74150, Crete, Greece.
The venue can be reached from Rethymno Centre by a special bus rented by IPPL that will start at 09:00 a.m. each day from the center of Rethymno town outside the eastern gate of municipal garden in Dimitrakaki Str., see Google map.

Travel Information
By Plane:
Participants can reach Rethymno by air travel from Athens via Chania (Daskalogiannis Airport – CHQ) or Heraklion (N. Kazantzakis Airport – HER). Flights between Athens and either of these cities take less than one hour. Information regarding flights and time schedules can be located at the official sites of Aegean Airlines and Olympic Airlines.
Also, there are flights which connect Heraklion and Chania directly to European cities.
