abstract = {{The rise of superconducting accelerator technology has brought forth an increase in the pulse rate produced by X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) by two orders of magnitude*, up to now, with a further increase on the horizon at new and existing facilities. The high pulse rate has opened up new opportunities for the scientific community, not only in terms of the volume of data that can be acquired, but also in the design of experiments that leverage the high pulse rate. However, these advances come with new challenges, such as replenishing the sample fast enough between X-ray pulses and ensuring high repetition rate detection of the signals produced. This presentation will give an overview of experiments performed to date at the Single Particles, Clusters, and Biomolecules and Serial Femtosecond Crystallography (SPB/SFX) instrument** that have taken advantage of the high number of pulses and repetition rate provided by the European XFEL and illustrate how some of the key challenges have been addressed. An outlook to future developments and wishes from the user community regarding increased duty cycle operation will also be discussed.}},
