Recently, two leading UK scientific institutions, Diamond Light Source and National Physical Laboratory (NPL), have reached a new five-year agreement to promote joint collaborative efforts.

The agreement was approved by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which will bring these two institutions together.
Diamond Light Source is a national synchrotron facility in the UK known for generating 10 billion times brighter light than the sun for scientific research. As a private company, Diamond Light Source has established a joint venture through the UK government's Science and Technology Facilities Committee and the Wellcome Foundation as part of research and innovation in the UK. Diamond Light Source supports a range of applications from structural biology to basic physics and chemistry through its light technology.

Diamond Light Source will collaborate with the National Institute of Metrology (NPL) in the UK, which is responsible for developing and maintaining national primary measurement standards. The National Physics Laboratory is a public enterprise under the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Technology.

When commenting on the signing of the agreement, Dr. JT Janssen, Chief Scientist of the National Physics Laboratory, stated, "Our goal is to combine our professional knowledge and facilities to achieve significant scientific impact. We hope to develop common professional knowledge and improve the effective use of our facilities, as well as strengthen cooperation and mutual support between students and employees."

In addition to joint meetings, networking, and training, the Memorandum of Understanding will also promote collaborative research and skill development opportunities that are of mutual interest to both parties or individuals through a dedicated steering committee composed of representatives from both parties.

These opportunities may include identifying specific subjects for joint graduate training and development. This includes implementing doctoral programs jointly supervised by Diamond Light Source and the National Physical Laboratory. In addition, they will also conduct synchronous accelerator and measurement science course exchanges for each facility's student population, which will include content provided by two organizations and factory visits.

Professor Gianluigi Botton, CEO of Diamond Light Source, summarized, "This agreement will create enormous opportunities for scientists and students in new sciences and organizations. A key goal is to promote collaboration around student engagement activities, including utilizing our respective expertise to provide valuable scientific training for each other's student communities."
