Welcome to the second ESS ILL User Meeting

In 2018, ILL and ESS hosted their first European Users Meeting in Grenoble. This successful meeting provided the opportunity to review the achievements of the user community, present the current status of ILL and ESS and, most importantly, to look forward to the scientific opportunities ahead for neutron science.

The future of neutron scattering is bright, and requires both facilities and the user community to take a proactive and strategic approach to navigating and managing the changing availability of neutron instruments in a holistic way, in order to ensure the sustainability and vitality of this important research technique.

As Europe’s two neutron source facilities, we would therefore like to invite you to the ESS and ILL European Users Meeting. We shall have a number of plenary speakers discussing using neutron science to meet societal challenges, as well as reports on recent achievements and ongoing work at ESS and ILL. There will also be focused parallel sessions, which will allow participants to delve deeper into specific areas of neutron science.

More details on the meeting will be given in a second circular and on the website, but in the meantime, we ask you to book the dates in your calendar.
