689 proposals were submitted this round, corresponding to a total request of 4489 days of beamtime.
These proposals will be reviewed by the Subcommittees on 24-25 April 2012. 
The accepted proposals will be scheduled during the last cycle of 2012 and early 2013.

In calculating the statistics of beamtime per country, the attribution is based on the location of the laboratory of the proposers, not their individual nationality (statistics for November 2011).

For a proposal involving laboratories from more than one country, the total number of days is divided amongst the collaborating countries, and weighted by the number of people for each country.

Local contacts are not counted as proposers except when they are members of the research team.
