LENS and BrightnESS² release Neutron Science in Europe

Jun 13, 2022
"Neutron Science in Europe: Strengthening world-class research and innovation. Delivering economic and societal impact." is a deliverable of BrightnESS², published on behalf of the League of advanced European Neutron Sources (LENS). The document provides an up-to-date landscape analysis of neutron sources in Europe and a common vision for the evolution of European neutron science over the next three decades.

For many years Europe has had a powerful ecosystem of neutron facilities that was the envy of the world; supporting an expert community of researchers, and delivering science, innovation and competitive advantage through economic impact for European society.

However, the European neutron ecosystem is experiencing a period of significant change and has been destabilised following the closure of a number of facilities.

Neutron Science in Europe, published as a joint initiative of the BrightnESS2 project and LENS Initiative, presents the current landscape for neutrons in Europe and addresses the challenges and opportunities for European neutron science to remain a key contributor in addressing current and future societal challenges.

The landmark document is a deliverable of work package 2 of the Horizon 2020 BrightnESS² project, and is published on behalf of LENS.
