In today’s era of unprecedented challenges, sustaining our world demands bold, transformative advances — powered by new knowledge, innovative ideas, and breakthrough technologies. This journey requires a truly global ecosystem built on healthy competition and genuine co-creation. Synchrotron facilities, as global bastions of science, must embrace change and actively drive transformation. The future calls for a shift from producing data to generating high-value intelligence, seamlessly integrating AI and simulation with measurement, fostering international human resource development and brain circulation, and forging strong connections among researchers worldwide.
