Collaborators are researchers who come to collaborate closely with internals but not for a beamtime approved by the review panel. If you are coming to Elettra with a scheduled proposal evaluated by the review panel, then you are not a collaborator but a user.
Before you begin to work at Elettra an Access Request must be submitted at least two weeks before the experiment. You must receive an approval from the corresponding officer prior to your arrival, otherwise you will not be able to enter the laboratory.
Once at Elettra, you will be asked for a valid identification document  so please remeber to bring one with you. For stays longer than two weeks, collaborators may have a personal badge upon request to the Safety department (Dr. Teresa Bonifacio, Room 17 ground floor, building T2).

Not yet registred The first step is to register in the VUO. If you visit our Laboratory for the first time, you have to complete the safety training on your arrival or through the VUO.
