BESSY II has now been in operation for more than 20 years and will remain in operation at least until 2035. Keeping BESSY II at the forefront of science and technology development requires the transition from a unique and highly productive analytical tool towards a materials discovery and innovation hub. With a clear focus on operando methods for energy research, and along the chain “generation of light, use of light, data generation, data handling”, BESSY II+ will provide new possibilities for our research, our users, and our partners.
