Symposium of Support Labs

20 Mar 2025, 08:30 → 21 Mar 2025, 19:00 Europe/Paris

110/111 (ILL50)

Meeting of Staff and Users of the Support Laboratories for Neutron Sources. Initially part of a collaboration between ISIS and ESS, this meeting was expanded in 2023 to include other neutron sources. The goal is to foster connections, gather feedback from our user community, share knowledge, and improve our practices. Scientists who regularly use the laboratories are strongly encouraged to attend!
