  1. ESS: Perspectives on data management and (the need for) capacity building Fredrik Melander Danish Agency for Science, Innovation and Technology Tartu, EstoniaMay 23rd, 2014

  2. ESS: A co-hosted and co-locatedfacility

  3. Road to realizing the world’s leading facility for research using neutrons 2025 ESS construction complete 2014 Construction work starts on the site 2023 ESS starts user program 2009 Decision: ESS will be built in Lund 2019 First neutrons on instruments 2012 ESS Design Update phase complete 2003 First European design effort of ESS completed

  4. Architectural Concepts

  5. Starting point: Data on disk is useless! • It is published results from the data that makes progress • Need to ensure that ESS users have access to: • appropriate software packages for data analysis • the necessary computational resources to exploit the software to obtain those results • analysis software during experiment to influence the data taking strategies • But, the perspectiveare broader

  9. Process for a Nordic neutron program (buildcommunity and broaden the scope)

  10. Understanding the community: Bibliography analysis-K. Lefmann, NBI ISI Web of Science search for “neutron-related” articles + J. Neutron Research All included papers downloaded to ensure relevance Instrumentation Actual neutron data Data analysis, analysis of previous data Reviews Theoretical work: prediction or modeling of data. We exclude Fusion, nuclear and particles physics Element analysis by activation (PGAA)

  11. Publications (highimpact)

  12. Community (small groupof experts)

  13. Themes (different positions)

  14. Conclusions 600+ papers since 2008 50% high-impact Healthy community Growing activity; 20% 2008-now – related to ESS Activity relies on some 100 senior scientists Established Nordic Collaborations Broad distribution on topics Hard matter structure and soft matter most prominent Each country has different strong points The average follow roughly the world neutron use; low in engineering/geology All countries rely on ILL Own sources/instruments are very important Access to different instruments

  15. What do wewanttoachieve?

  16. A 5-year Nordic Neutron program • The overall goal of the program is to increase the number of neutron users and increase competence in neutron scattering in the region with a special focus on young scientists, and new user fields and communities. • To have a substantial effect, the working group proposes a 5-year program • A budget level of approximately 50-65 MNOK is needed for the program to have expected impact and bring substantial Nordic added value. • Key elements of the program could include: • 1. Broad scope of Research School activities • 2. Joint networks, positions and projects across the countries and scientific fields to build critical mass in highly specialized fields and areas, • 3. A post-doc mobility and support scheme to strengthen knowledge circulation and support for opening up and joint use of national instruments and training facilities.

  17. Long term ambitions (Nordic or DK?) • We foresee that to be able to take full advantage of the allocated ESS capacity by 2025 an additional 75 PhD and 75 Postdoctoral scientists as well as 20 new PI’s should be in employment and be distributed between existing and new groups. • By 2025 we expect at least 150 frequent and expert scientists in permanent or temporary employment per year working with neutron scattering in 100 research groups and publishing in excess of 200 papers a year. • This effort would bring the Nordic community to approximately the same level as Switzerland

  18. STEP 1PILOT ACTIVITY A NORDIC NEUTRON RESEARCH SCHOOL Scope: - 3-5 year grant, start up in 2014 - 1,5-2 MDKK per year - Virtual/distributed collaboration between Nordic research environments coordinated by a larger active research environment or the national organizations Goals:- Increase the number of young users- Stimulate the use of neutrons among new groups and fields - Increase collaboration, efficiency and mobility in and between existing educational efforts- Strengthen the networks between the Nordic environments, the new international facilities and international research groups. Potential activities (examples):- Strengthen collaboration between Nordic educational institutions by systematically sharing information and ”opening up” national courses, programs, facilities and activities - Grant support to develop, organize and run courses- Grant support to organize workshops, seminars and conferences. - Develop online teaching and training.
