At this meeting, the neutron community comes together to discuss the scientific possibilities at ESS. There will be an update on the ESS project as we stand on the verge of entering construction, and together we'll discuss where we go from here - during construction and beyond.

This is the third Science and Scientists meeting – 2011 in Prague and 2012 in Berlin drew hundreds of neutron scattering scientists to discuss scientific visions and possibilities for ESS. This meeting is an opportunity for the community to engage in ESS, and a large attendance is important for the successful development of the facility.

Speakers include Prof. Olwyn Byron, University of Glasgow, Prof. Andrew Boothroyd, University of Oxford, and Prof. Paul Attfield, University of Edinburgh.

The meeting will take place at the University of Edinburgh's prestigious School of Chemistry, which is celebrating its Tercentenary (300 years) in 2013. The campus is easily accessible and transportation will be provided to the ICNS Registration site.
