After the successful last year reactor operation, the BNC offers beamtime in 2026 for the international and domestic neutron community!
The first call for submitting science proposals is now open until 9th February, 2026.
14 neutron instruments are offered to carry out research in all domains, including physics, chemistry, biology, materials, medical and cultural heritage sciences.
The BNC participates in NEPHEWS project, which supports users with free access to the BNC facilities, reimbursing the travel and accommodation costs for two scientists from the user-research group.
For those who have never used any of our facilities, it is also possible to experience how it works to use a neutron instrument in a large-scale research infrastructure! The NEPHEWS Twinning programme offers a unique opportunity for young and inexperienced researchers to gain hands-on experience with neutron instruments in large-scale research infrastructures, by matching them with expert groups and supporting their travel and accommodation needs.
The BNC offers a wide range of techniques for basic and applied research, development, and even industrial measurement applications.
See the Schedule of the Budapest Research Reactor for 2026,
18 cycles each offering 96-hours continuous operation!
