Supervisory Board of NEPHEWS
National Synchrotron Radiation Centre
Welcome!
NEPHEWS and SOLARIS welcome you to the 1st NEPHEWS Supervisory Board (SB) meeting which will be in-person from December 2nd to December 4th at the SOLARIS National Synchrotron Radiation Centre at Jagellonian University in Krakow.
NEPHEWS, NEutrons and PHotons Elevating Worldwide Science (http://www.beamtime.eu/) is a consortium which consists of a combination of neutron and photon research infrastructures and user support organisations. NEPHEWS delivers access to the world-class collective of Europe’s premiere open advanced neutron (N), synchrotron (SR) and free-electron laser (FEL) complementary research infrastructures (RI), to promote curiosity driven excellence in research.
In NEPHEWS these RI have instituted a novel approach jointly with their 40k+ user base of scientists through the European Users Organisations to provide a user-driven access program targeting new and non-expert communities, with a focus on Widening countries, Ukraine and Africa, a priority. The bottom-up User-to-User-oriented approach aims to build a more integrated European RI landscape involving LEAPS and LENS consortia and their European scientific user communities. These user organisations being the European Synchrotron and Free Electron Laser Users Organisation (ESUO) and the European Neutron Scattering Association (ENSA).
The NEPHEWS Supervisory Board (SB) is an overseeing structure representing the interests of the users and of the facilities. The NEPHEWS SB is composed of designated national representatives of the international Users organizations ESUO and ENSA (associated partners) and representatives of the LEAPS General Assembly and of the LENS Council. This composition reflects a spread of nations across the ERA serving to help embed the planned outcomes of the project.
We look forward to a very interesting meeting for the NEPHEWS Supervisory Board, and for the constituent ESUO and ENSA members and delegates.
