Committee Research with Neutrons (KFN)

Into the new year with neutrons

New cycles at ILL and MLZ

KFN wishes everyone a healthy, peaceful and successful year 2020! It's looking good for neutrons: New cycles start at ILL and at MLZ in January. The LENS initiative is running strongly, and the KFN is looking forward to an exciting year. One focus will be the digital transformation, and in summer, a new KFN will be elected. In autumn, the German Neutron Scattering Conference will take place in connection to the MLZ user meeting for the first time. We will continue to represent the insterest of neutron users on all levels and keep the users informed about our activities.

DAta from PHoton and Neutron Experiments

KFS and KFN support proposal of consortium for research data management

The aim of the national research data infrastructure (NFDI) is to systematically manage scientific and research data, provide long-term data storage, backup and accessibility, and network the data both nationally and internationally. The NFDI will bring multiple stakeholders together in a coordinated network of consortia tasked with providing science-driven data services to research communities. In mid-October, the neutron and synchrotron communities have subnitted a proposal for an NFDI consortium ("DAta from PHoton and Neutron Experiments") to DFG. Here, you can read the summary of the proposal. [more]
