After the successful last year reactor operation, BNC offers beamtime in 2026 for the international and domestic neutron community!
First call is open with the deadline, submitting the science proposals until the 9th of February.
14 neutron instruments are offered to carry out research in physics, chemistry, biology, materials, medical and cultural heritage sciences.
BNC takes part 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.

DO NOT HESITATE TO APPLY FOR BEAMTIME AT BNC!
There is also a possibility for those who have never used any of our facilities to see and feel how it works to use a neutron instrument in a large-scale research infrastructure! The NEPHEWS Twinning programme offers an innovative 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.
We are pleased to announce that BNC offers a wide range of opportunities for research, development, and even industrial measurement applications.
