The European Spallation Source (ESS), presently well on its way to completion, will soon provide the most intense neutron beams for multi-disciplinary science.

Fortuitously, it will also generate the largest pulsed neutrino flux suitable for the detection of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS),

a process recently measured for the first time at ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source.

We will describe innovative detector technologies maximally able to profit from the order-of-magnitude increase in neutrino flux provided by the ESS,

along with their sensitivity to a rich particle physics phenomenology accessible through high-statistics, precision CE$\nu$NS measurements.
