MORE THAN SIMPLY NEUTRONS
11 0 - 111
The project PaNOSC—Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud—is one of five cluster projects funded under the European Horizon2020 programme. The project, which
will run until December 2022, brings together six strategic European research infrastructures (the ESRF, CERIC-ERIC, ELI-DC, ESS, XFEL and ILL) and the e-infrastructures EGI and GEANT. Together, they will contribute to the construction and development of the EOSC, an ecosystem allowing universal and cross-disciplinary open access to data through a single access point for researchers in all scientific fields.
Large-scale research infrastructures produce a huge amount of scientific data on a daily basis. For their storage and future (re)use, data need to be managed according to
FAIR principles, i.e. be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable. Via PaNOSC, the partner facilities will collaborate to develop common policies, strategies and solutions in the area of FAIR data policy, data management and data services.

THE LEAGUE OF ADVANCED EUROPEAN NEUTRON SOURCES (LENS)
LENS is a new strategic consortium of European neutron sources that hopes to guide and advocate for the European neutron user community by highlighting neutron science as fundamental to addressing society’s grand challenges.
LENS brings together the transnational European neutron source facilities, the group’s aim, according to its charter, being to ‘facilitate any form of discussion and decision-making process that has the potential to strengthen European neutron science via enhanced collaboration among the facilities’.
Prospective partners in the consortium include nearly a dozen facilities in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
