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.

Get in contact with ESS today!

Swedish in-kind deliveries to ESS are part of the Swedish membership fee to ESS, and can amount to SEK 150 million during the period 2021 - 2025.
There is still SEK 86 million left to apply for! Contact Sindra Petersson Årsköld.

The condition for being able to deliver in-kind to ESS is that the delivery is included in ESS's project plan and budget and that it is based on an agreement between ESS and the delivering partner. Co-financing is not required, the deliveries are fully financed according to ESS budgeting as stated in the Cost book.

Swedish researchers who wish to deliver services, personnel or equipment in-kind must therefore contact ESS immediately to discuss details regarding scope, timetable, in kind value, risks, acceptance criteria, etc.

Call for Input to the ESS Instrument Roadmap

ESS is inviting the European scientific community to contribute input to a roadmap for instruments beyond the 15 currently under construction. This roadmap will guide future developments of the instrument suite, ensuring that ESS supports a versatile science portfolio in the decades to come. The call will be open until February 2025.
