Thousands of international top class scientists to ESS and the Copenhagen Metro Region every year From idea to innovation Worlds most powerful neutron source Computing power in Copenhagen Next generation of innovations ESS Presentation 2012 Feb Karl McFaul
ESS as a Vehicle of Transformation >ESS has the potential to transform : Neutron Science by capturing the imagination of young scientists that will invent new means and ways of doing science. The Region by acting as a magnet for international scientists and technology companies. Europe by combining savvy science with the rich traditions of Niels Bohr and the Nobel prize in making Lund a world science nexus.
