Abstract: Synchrotron Radiation Facility SKIF is a new large-scale research infrastructure project currently underway in Novosibirsk region in Russia. The 3 GeV electron storage ring designed by specialists from the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS will provide the record low emittance of 75 pm·rad by the date of scheduled commissioning in December, 2024. At the first phase of the project implementation, the research infrastructure of the synchrotron radiation facility will include six beamlines, dedicated to diverse techniques and X-ray spectral ranges. Key directions of the scientific program to be deployed at the SRF SKIF will encompass biomedicine, green technologies in chemistry and energetics, advanced engineering materials and mechanical engineering technologies. The present contribution surveys essential details of the SRF SKIF project, including functionality of the first-phase beamlines. The emphasis in discussion will be placed on crystallography-oriented techniques, research capabilities, and instrumentation. In particular, these will concern a side-branch 1-1-3 of the 1-1 Microfocus beamline devoted to Macromolecular crystallography and 1-2 Structural diagnostics beamline comprehensively devoted to X-ray diffraction. Preliminary plans for the second-phase beamlines will be also outlined.
