Proposal submission is over. Next proposal deadline is 17 September 2012.

Starting from the next reactor cycle in April 2012, your site entrance badge will now be used instead of the canteen card for the payment of meals at the ILL/ESRF common restaurant. This is intended to offer you a better and simplified service.

You can charge your badge or get your money back at the cash desk, as with the previous magnetic canteen card.
The cash desk is open during mealtimes and also from 9.00 to 11.00, and from 13.30 to 15.30, Monday to Friday.

In addition to the 1200 members of staff working on the site, 8000 scientific users and thousands of other visitors and company personnel pass through the epn campus entrance every year.

It is the ILL's Site Security Service that is responsible for receiving these visitors. The service is led by Pierre Rivet, who is keen on ensuring the quality of the service provided and who has decided that it is now time to carry out a satisfaction survey. We would be grateful if you could spare 5 minutes of your time for the satisfaction survey.

Here you can find assistance for writing your proposal.

Users are reminded that LAMP, the IDL-based data inspection and analysis application, can be downloaded from the ILL's ftp server. Runtime versions, which can be used without an IDL license, are available for Windows and UNIX systems. HDF data files in the NeXus format can be read and produced by LAMP.
