The Stephenson Distinguished Visitor Programme, supported by the James D. Stephenson Fund, provides support to allow renowned scientists to visit DESY, to work and to collaborate with DESY scientists in the field of photon science research.
The objective of the programme is to strengthen this research, especially the work of young academics at the light sources PETRA III and FLASH through innovative, advanced projects. Initiating and expanding new connections with scientists at home and abroad is a long term aim.
