Main Classification 2 covers Light Sources based on synchrotron storage rings and linacs including Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs) and FELs. These light sources incorporate advanced insertion devices, including high quality planar and helical field undulators based on permanent magnet or electromagnet technologies. Associated accelerator systems, such as injectors, booster synchrotrons and high brightness electron sources can also be proposed for this Session, as can laser systems and their use. Papers presented can be project descriptions or cover individual aspects of light sources. Both theoretical and experimental results are solicited.

Main Classification 8: Applications of Accelerators, Technology Transfer and Relations with Industry Coordinators: Hartmut Eickhoff (Applications), Michael Peiniger (TT & Relations with Industry)

Scope of Applications Session 8 includes contributions with emphasis on applications of accelerators rather than on accelerator aspects proper.

Scope of TT Session The Technology Transfer Session, is mainly addressed to Accelerator Laboratories to improve the methods and strategies for TT, and to Industry to create business out of TT. It covers relevant issues for successful TT, structures needed to promote TT, technology incubator for start-up companies, and intellectual property and patenting.

Scope of Session on Relations with Industry The Session on Relations between Laboratories and Industry is addressed to both sides in order to improve performance and the achievement of the contract goals through the creation of mutual understanding, contractual matters, joint research and development, measures to improve contract goals.
