Information meeting on ESS

The Deans of SCIENCE, PHARMA, LIFE and Medical Faculties invite all KU-
employees, students and other interested parties to an information meeting on the
planned European Spallation Source (ESS).  This facility will become the world
leading source of neutrons for materials research in a broad sense. ESS may be pla-
ced in Lund (S), next to the planned leading synchrotron-Xray source Max-IV.
The meeting will be in English.
 
Because of the arrangement, a preliminary registration is set to 9/1-2009 to:
