EPJ Web of Conferences Highlight - ECNS 2023: European Conference on Neutron Scattering 2023

Neutron scientists at the ECNS2023 in Garching.

The 8th edition of the ECNS conference took place from 20th to 23rd of March 2023, at the TUM Department of Mechanical Engineering and at the new Science Congress Center Munich, both located in the immediate vicinity of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) at Garching, Germany.

The conference brought together the community of neutron scientists from Europe, but also from America, Asia and Australia. Many new and exciting topics and developments stimulated lively scientific discussions in a vibrant and constructive atmosphere.

The program reflected not only the diversity of applications of neutron scattering: from chemistry, soft matter, magnetism to engineering, but also the important activities and the new results in the design and conception of new instruments, sample environments and developments in data analysis.

A prominent topic of the meeting pertained the effort and the development of neutron sources, like e.g. accelerator driven compact neutron sources. These would complement in future the high-end sources in operation, or still under construction, and give the neutron scattering community access to various techniques such as neutron diffraction, neutron spectroscopy, and neutron radiography.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
