The ESRF is a multinational research institute,

synchrotron X-ray source with some 30 beamlines 
(instruments) covering a wide range of scientific 
research in fields such as biology and medicine, 
chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, 
materials and surface science, and physics. 
Research at the ESRF is carried out by several 
thousand external users each year from 
universities, public research laboratories and 
industry, and by the ESRF's own scientists. The 
ESRF employs about 600 staff and is organized as 
a French société civile. The working language of the ESRF is English.
