1 2 Dear colleagues, On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am pleased to welcome all the participants to the 30th edition of the Annual Users Meeting of the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory- RAU/LNLS. I would like to start by wishing you and your families my personal best for your health and safety in these difficult times. This year has tested us like no other. RAU is a unique opportunity to gather together the Brazilian lightsource community in a single scientific event to disseminate results and exchange ideas. Following much debate, we decided to proceed with the RAU in the now realized alternative format. This was not without its own challenges. The year 2020 marks the 30th anniversary of this Users Meeting. Although RAU is being run under exceptional circumstances, we have created what we hope will be a RAU to be remembered for many years to come. 30th RAU will be four days long bringing together around 500 researchers from different corners of Brazil and from more than 20 countries around the world. The programme includes 114 poster presentations, 20 oral contributions, 4 keynote talks and 6 invited plenary lectures. In addition, we will have an overview of LNLS, Sirius virtual tour, meetings with beamline coordinators, and last but not the least, the newly elected User Committee will be presented during the LNLS Users Group assembly. The structure of this RAU was designed to stimulate discussion and participation. All sessions will have life in them. We certainly encourage all participants to attend and engage with sessions as though you were here in person. We are privileged to hear the highlights from this year’s hard work on Sirius beamlines and to take part in a rich, and highly relevant, discussion on cutting-edge research to stimulate new proposals and ideas. We believe many good experiences will be shared and good lessons learned. We also want to express our optimism about the future, with the Sirius moving along, ready to go for another 30 years. Sirius currently works with a stable circulating current in the accelerators at around 10% of the current expected for its full operation. In the last few months, the first experiments on the MANACÁ beamline were carried out by external researchers dedicated to studying the molecular mechanisms related to the action of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The other beamlines of the first phase (CARNAÚBA, CATERETÊ, EMA, IPÊ, MOGNO) are in an advanced stage of assembly. We cannot fail to register our sincere gratitude and our recognition to professor Ricardo Rodrigues. Finally, we would like to thank this incredible Local Committee and the CNPEM staff for organizing this RAU, ensuring it ran so smoothly. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors who supported the move to an online meeting. Take care of yourselves and stay healthy. Hope to see you all soon!
