The Elettra 2.0 project status

After 31 years of serving the user community with excellent results, on July 2nd 2025 the removal of the Italian third generation synchrotron light source Elettra (www.elettra.eu) will start to be replaced by Elettra 2.0 a fourth-generation one. The project is in full development and, being a diffraction limited light source, Elettra 2.0 will provide ultra-high brilliance and coherence to the experiments while at the same time the machine is designed to provide very short pulses for time resolved experiments. The project status and its possibilities will be presented and discussed
