The Australian Synchrotron, which came online in 2007, is just over the road from Monash's Clayton campus and we want to help Monash researchers make the most of the unique advantage that our proximity to this fantastic new facility provides.

Information on postgraduate research projects being offered by Monash researchers for 2009, involving synchrotron techniques, is now available here.
