European Spallation Source ERIC

The European Spallation Source (ESS) ERIC is a European organization that manages a large scientific facility in Sweden. This facility produces intense beams of neutrons—tiny particles found in atoms—which scientists use to study materials at the atomic level. These insights help improve technologies like electronics, energy storage, and medicine. As a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), it coordinates international collaboration, funding, and access for researchers across Europe and beyond. ESS enables advanced research by providing a powerful, shared resource for understanding matter, fostering innovation, and supporting scientific progress.
