Dear Big Science Sweden members and friends
A productive year is coming to an end, but next year promises to be equally important and exciting year for us at Big Science Sweden. In March, we will host the Swedish Big Science Forum at The Loop in Lund – a vibrant meeting place where Big Science facilities and projects are actively seeking new high-tech suppliers and partners. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, collaborate and explore new possibilities.

Later in the year, in October 2026, we hope that some of you will join us for the Big Science Business Forum in Maastricht. BSBF brings together the entire European Big Science community, offering another important platform for Swedish companies and research groups to engage on an international level.

As 2025 draws to a close, we hope you enjoy a well-deserved and relaxing break over the festive season. I very much look forward to meeting many of you in 2026.
