How to apply for beamtime at PETRA III?
We regret, but cannot accept any Indian proposals until the extension of the contract of the India@DESY collaboration is officially verified by Indian authorities. We expect the latter to happen in early January 2025.
Indian users who wish to conduct experiments at PETRA III within the context of India@DESY must submit proposals upon the regular Call for Proposals. The proposals will be reviewed by the India@DESY review panel.
For detailed information on the application procedure and the administrative preparation of your experiment, please consult our Users' Guide.

Visa Application and Travel Reimbursement
Please note the following for your Visa application:
To avoid any delays please start the visa application process as soon as possible. Due to changed procedures it may take weeks to months to secure an
appointment in the consulate.
Requests for invitation letters are now processed exclusively via DOOR (log in as "General User" and select "Visa - Invitation letter" in the section "Preparation of Scheduled Beamtimes/Experiments").
Participants can submit the request as soon as they are registered for the beamtime by the PI of the scheduled proposal.
Travel costs for Indian Users are administered and reimbursed by the Indian Partner under the DST-DESY project.
