Join us in celebrating 10 years of SwedNess, the Swedish Graduate School in Neutron Scattering, at a two-day anniversary event bringing together researchers, alumni, funding agencies, and key stakeholders in neutron science.
The anniversary program highlights the scientific, societal, and industrial impact of neutron scattering, featuring plenary lectures, alumni presentations, panel discussions, and networking activities. The event reflects on SwedNess’ journey so far while looking ahead at future needs for neutron education, research infrastructure, and collaboration.
Day 1 focuses on the role of neutron science in society and research, with talks from representatives of SwedNess, national research funding bodies, universities, and the European Spallation Source (ESS). The program includes alumni perspectives, a plenary lecture by the ESS Director, and a panel discussion on future needs in neutron education. The day concludes with a social activity and anniversary dinner.
Day 2 highlights scientific advancements and career paths enabled through SwedNess, including talks on neutron imaging, PhD and alumni presentations, and discussions on the way forward for the graduate school. The program also features sessions on industrial research and development, as well as structured networking activities focused on collaboration, funding opportunities, and complementary research methods.
The celebration offers a unique opportunity to connect across academia, industry, and research infrastructures, exchange experiences, and help shape the future of neutron scattering education and research in Sweden and beyond.
