ESS invites the scientific community to contribute to the development of its long-term instrument roadmap. Beyond the 15 instruments currently under construction, we seek scientifically driven conceptual ideas for future instruments to ensure that ESS remains globally competitive and scientifically impactful for decades to come. Teams across Europe are encouraged to submit proposals from February […]

ESS/MAX IV/SciLifeLab Summit 2025
How can and should we use the massive amounts of data generated by ESS, MAX IV and SciLifeLab, and how can AI help manage it? These questions are the focus of this year’s summit in Lund on 3 October 2025. Many interesting contributions will show different perspectives about these and related topics on the 3rd October. […]
A guide to spatially resolved phase and texture evaluation by diffraction contrast neutron imaging
The physical properties of structural as well as functional components are largely governed by the materials microstructure. In polycrystalline materials, the crystallographic phase and preferred grain orientation (texture) can dominate the physical properties. A range of microscopy and diffraction techniques are hence routinely used for their characterization, but are prone to miss local variations across […]
Webinar Registration: Structure Generation for MD Simulations of Soft Matter Systems
It is our great pleasure to invite you to an online launch event and workshop to showcase two new software workflows which will be of interest to the Small-angle Scattering and Disordered Materials communities. The development of these tools has been funded by the Ada Lovelace Centre and they are intended to offer users new […]
Advancements in Thermal Neutron Scattering Law Generation
The design of neutron systems, for example nuclear reactors and neutron sources, requires the usage of Monte-Carlo simulation software to predict the distributions of neutrons throughout the system. At low energies, the interactions of neutrons with a material is driven by interactions on the atomic and molecular scale and thus a proper description of this […]
Swedish in-kind to ESS
The Swedish neutron community have long been asking for a way of contributing in-kind to ESS, and now it is possible. This way, Sweden can build competence in instrumentation and new collaborations develop. In-kind collaborations can give a close connection to the ESS instrument projects and opportunities to be involved in first science at ESS.
