DENIM 2016

19 Sept 2016, 09:00 → 21 Sept 2016, 15:00 Europe/Stockholm

ESS - Lund - Sweden

Thank you very much for attending DENIM 2016

The Design and Engineering of Neutron Instruments Meeting (DENIM) in 2016 will be hosted by the European Spallation Source in Lund, Sweden. DENIM has established itself as the most significant engineering workshop in the field of neutron scattering instruments on a global scale.

DENIM is a workshop with focus on high quality, productive exchanges of information and building bridges between the engineering entities and commercial partners which support our facilities. It aims to engage, and motivate,  representatives from the engineering functions of the principal neutron sources around the globe.
