Exploring Scientific Member partnerships at the Institut Laue Langevin
The world’s leading centre for neutron science and technology.
Scientific Member countries are key partners and stakeholders at ILL. Currently 10 countries, they collectively deliver about 25% of the scientific activity of the ILL and provide a corresponding budget contribution. ILL is continuously seeking new partners as part of its mission to support science, innovation and training with neutrons in Europe and beyond. Two new partners are in the process of joining ILL.
The current funding agreement for ILL supports operation until end 2033. There is a unique window of opportunity for new Scientific Members to join ILL for the five-year period 2029-2033 (or before and beyond!) and benefit from the massive, recent investments that ensure that ILL continues to be the world leading facility for neutron science. In this context, delegations of up to three representatives per country are invited to attend an event at ILL on September 24-25, 2026 to visit the facility and explore how to become a partner at ILL.
