Description
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is one of the largest science infrastructure projects being built in Europe today. Designed to generate neutron beams for science, ESS will benefit a broad range of research, from life science to engineering materials, from heritage conservation to magnetism. A Partner Day will be held on 2 June 2016 in Riga, Latvia in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Education and Latvian Institutes, including the Institute of Solid State Physics.
