A case study in neutron science of user access at large scale facilities from non-facility countries
The video titled "A Case Study in Neutron Science of User Access at Large-Scale Facilities from Non-Facility Countries" features Paavo Penttilä from Aalto University. In this presentation, Penttilä discusses the challenges and strategies associated with accessing neutron research facilities for users from countries lacking their own large-scale neutron sources. He shares insights into collaborative efforts, proposal writing, and the practicalities of conducting neutron scattering experiments as an international user.
NEPHEWS Project
(NEutrons and PHotons Elevating Worldwide Science)
Improved research infrastructure and scientific endeavours have the potential to propel innovation forward and significantly enhance the quality of life for populations. With this in mind, the EU-funded NEPHEWS project aims to broaden access to advanced neutron, synchrotron, and free-electron complementary research infrastructures across an expanding range of countries. The project will collaborate with its user base to develop a user-driven access program focused on enhancing the accessibility and usability of the research infrastructures (RI) for diverse communities. Additionally, it will offer a wide range of experiments, provide expert training, and conduct virtual and in-person workshops and collaborations. Finally, the project will facilitate political dialogue and advocate for research funding.
