Science hubs overview

The ILL is a user facility welcoming scientists from all around the world to perform cutting-edge experiments fostering progress in a variety of scientific and technological domains. Neutrons are used at the ILL to probe the microscopic structure and dynamics of a broad range of materials at molecular, atomic and nuclear level. The impact of the neutron science carried out at ILL ranges from scientific discovery and excellence to addressing societal challenges in the fields of health, the environment, energy, computing technologies, and in exploring the mysteries of the Universe we live in. 

As a service infrastructure, ILL makes its facilities and expertise in neutron science and technology available to its 'scientific users' (visiting scientists). 

The ILL science hubs are meant to  be centres of scientific expertise to support and expand the user base, promote internal collaboration, boost links with and relevance for industry, and deliver high-profile science. The Hubs bring together internal and external scientists.
