The goal of this workshop is to highlight high-impact research topics in materials science, chemistry and biology that either greatly benefit from or require the co-location of an x-ray free electron laser and a modern synchrotron light source. Ideally, the workshop would also help to identify capabilities that are not available today but that would allow our users to attack such problems even more successfully at SLAC in the future. 

This is a 2-part workshop to be held on the afternoons of September 22 and September 23.
