International Centre for Synchrotron-Light for Experimental Science Applications in the Middle East

The International Centre for Synchrotron-Light for Experimental Science Applications in the Middle East (SESAME) is an independent laboratory formally created under the auspices of UNESCO on 30 May 2002. It is locates in Allaan, Jordan.

The founding members of SESAME are Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, and Turkey. The project was launched in 1999 and the ground breaking ceremony was held on 6 January 2003. Construction work began the following July. President of the SESAME Council is Herwig Schopper, a former Director-General of CERN.

The synchrotron radiation facility operated by SESAME is the former facility BESSY I, which was previously decommissioned in Germany.
