Michael Arentoft, EU R&I representative, visits the ILL

On 29 April we welcomed to the ILL Prof. Michael Arentoft, Head of Unit at the European Commission's Directorate for Research and Innovation, where he is deputy director for Innovation, Prosperity and International Cooperation, dealing in particular with open science and European research infrastructures.

Our visitor was welcomed by ILL's Director, Ken Andersen, and by the Head of the Partnerships and Communication Service, Mark Johnson. It was a pleasure to show our visitor our state-of-the-art instrument suite, following the comprehensive Endurance upgrade programme, and scientists and technicians at work. This was also an opportunity to discuss ILL's portfolio of EU projects and how we can help to deliver the EU missions for science, innovation and training, addressing major societal challenges.
