NEW!!!
Dear colleagues,
we were looking forward to welcome you in Lund for the second ESS and ILL European User Meeting but the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to modify our plans.
Instead the meeting will now take place as a digital conference on the originally planned dates, i.e. from Sept 23, 2020 to Sept 25, 2020.
We shall have a number of speakers on using neutron science to meet the societal challenges, exchange with the user community as well as reports on recent achievements and ongoing work at ESS and ILL.
Topical workshops – replacing the initially planned parallel sessions - will be organised shortly after the user meeting later in 2020.
More details will soon be made available on the web site at www.neutrons4europe.com.
--------------------------------------------
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, but both the facilities and the community of users must 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 the two European neutron sources, we would therefore like to invite you to the
ESS and ILL European Users Meeting
from
Wednesday, 23 September 2020
(beginning 09:00)
to
Friday, 25 September 2020
(end 13:00)
in Lund, Sweden
We shall have a number of plenary speakers on using neutron science to meet societal challenges, as well as reports on recent achievements and ongoing work at ESS and ILL. There will be focussed parallel sessions, which will allow participants to delve deeper into specific areas of neutron science.
For the time being, we should like you to put these dates in your diary. More details on the meeting will be given in a second circular and on the web site at www.neutrons4europe.com.
Please be so kind to forward this message to whomever you think might be interested and please be so kind to post the attached poster in your organization.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Lund in September!
On behalf of the directors of ESS and ILL
