Welcome to the new website of the European Neutron Scattering Association (ENSA). We, ENSA, represent the scientists that use large-scale research infrastructures that operate a neutron source, like research reactors and accelerator-based spallation sources. Half of the worlds mass actually consists of neutrons. Half of you consists of neutrons. Neutrons bind together the protons in…
European Neutron Science Association
The European Neutron Science Association (ENSA) represents the scientific community in Europe that uses neutron sources to explore the structure and dynamics of materials. It brings together national user groups to coordinate strategy, strengthen collaboration, and advocate for world‑class neutron research. ENSA works to ensure efficient use of existing facilities while supporting long‑term planning for future neutron sources. The association promotes training, innovation, and opportunities for young scientists across a broad range of disciplines. Through its initiatives and partnerships, ENSA helps secure a vibrant and sustainable future for neutron science in Europe. It may be noted that ENSA changed its name from the European Neutron Scattering Association in May 2026.
