Science Directorate Retreat 2026

Aug 31, 2026, 8:00 AM → Sep 1, 2026, 5:30 PM Europe/Stockholm

Welcome to the Science Directorate Retreat 2026!

We will spend two full days away at Hotel Skansen and Hotel Riviera in Båstad, beautifully located along the coast near the Halland border.

The programme will focus on our recent progress towards operation and scientific output, and on how we can work together most effectively. There will be opportunities to walk along the coastline, as well as afternoon refreshments that provide a relaxed setting to connect with colleagues. We will also hold discussion sessions aimed at helping shape the working environment we want to create within the Science Directorate.

If you are taking the bus to Båstad, but have taken your car to ESS please remember to park your car at the 'old' parking (Temporary Office parking).
