Mission, vision & values
Research mission
The EXCITE Network is a leading-edge imaging infrastructure that aims to provide access to the latest imaging technology to enable interdisciplinary research into Earth and Environmental materials.
The EXCITE Network has a broad, interdisciplinary Earth and Environmental materials research scope, allowing you to address scientific questions from all relevant perspectives.
‘For a better understanding of Earth and Environmental materials and our planet’
This is how we support your research:
‘The EXCITE Network aims to provide access to the latest imaging technology to enable interdisciplinary research into Earth and Environmental materials’
A question of fundamental or applied nature? The EXCITE Network is here to help you. Together, we find the answers.
Vision
To advance our understanding of Earth and Environmental materials, it is essential that scientists have access to leading-edge imaging facilities. We provide that access.
We want to provide access to the international community to use cutting-edge technology to investigate the properties of Earth and Environmental materials, thereby advancing fundamental and applied research.
‘Provide access to leading-edge imaging techniques to all scientists studying Earth and Environmental materials’
Values
The EXCITE Network wants to inspire a community of like-minded scientists who share an interest in better understanding Earth and Environmental materials. We value advanced technology, open science and teamwork. All with the aim to connect you to outstanding imaging facilities, collectively stimulate ideas and foster interdisciplinary collaborations.
‘We think forward, are committed to your success and strive to positively impact science, industry, and society’
We are progressive – initiate the development of innovative ideas, new techniques, and best practices.
We are committed to your success –actively support an open science environment to facilitate the transfer of scientific knowledge around Earth and Environmental materials as well as advanced imaging techniques.
We strive to create a positive impact – by providing access to the latest technology, we help scientists to make new discoveries. Society benefits from an improved understanding of our planet and the industrial and environmental problems that can be solved.
EU missions
EXCITE delivers a frontier EU research infrastructure at the core of EU challenges. Our infrastructure aids to unravel the detrimental effects of environmental factors on human health and society. Researchers actively contribute to critical EU challenges such as climate change, environmental pollution, and the processing and recycling of critical raw materials.
