Dear Visitor,

research with neutrons plays a definitive role in our understanding of materials features in the world around us. In order to secure Europe’s leading role in this field of science and technology, a new neutron source facility is necessary. The planned European Spallation Source (ESS) will be the most advanced neutron scattering facility in the world to offer the unique capabilities of the innovative long pulse spallation source concept.

It is the firm intention of the Hungarian government and scientific community to participate in the realization of the ESS facility. The Hungarian bid relates to the project laid down in the ESFRI Roadmap, i.e. the 5 MW long pulse target station. It is considered that the construction of ESS in Hungary would be in full coherence with the intention of the European Union to support the new member states and improve the regional balance of research infrastructure.

If you would like to receive more information about the ESS Hungary project, please check out our webpages!
