Public Comments Invited on User Survey Report for Promotion of SPring-8 Use (Feb. 22 - 28, 2013)

ball Introduction

The SPring-8 Users Community (SPRUC), which came into being in April 2012, aims to facilitate the sophistication and optimization of the SPring-8 use and the development of science and technology as an organization that all SPring-8 users participate in.
As part of its activities, the SPRUC has established a memorandum of understanding with the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Institute (JASRI) operating SPring-8 on "User Survey for Promotion of SPring-8 Use" and produced the User Survey Report to be submitted to the JASRI.
It hasn't been long since the SPRUC came into being, and it will take some time to put together the opinions of users (members). For now, we will make public the User Survey Report for FY2012 on the survey items listed below and hope to seek public comments. Your honest opinion will help us continue to improve our services. Thank you for your cooperation.

Chair of SPRUC
