LENS 5th Anniversary Meeting and Celebratory Dinner

 Tuesday 12 September 2023

European Spallation Source

Partikelgatan 2, 224 84 Lund, SE

On 12 September 2018 the LENS Charter was signed, launching a joint initiative to strengthen neutron and muon science in Europe. Since then, LENS colleagues have been collaborating in many areas and recognition of LENS within Europe’s RI landscape has grown. LENS’ fifth anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate the consortium’s achievements to date, and to plan the future direction of the collaboration.
