Thank you for two inspiring days in Lund
What can we say, other than thank you to all of you who joined the Swedish Big Science Forum and made these two days even better than we had hoped for. At Big Science Sweden, we are now summarising our key takeaways, but at the same time, the planning for the next events is already well underway:

Together with Fusion for Energy and ESS, we invite experts in advanced materials to Lund on 5–6 May for the Advanced Fusion Materials Workshop.

Two weeks later, on 17-22 May, we encourage companies and research groups to join us at the International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC) in Deauville, France. Join the Estonia–Denmark–Sweden Business Pavilion.

Later this autumn, we hope that many of you will join us at the Big Science Business Forum (BSBF) in Maastricht. Sweden, Norway, Estonia and Latvia will share a joint business pavilion at this key European event that typically attracts over 1,000 representatives from high-tech companies and major research organisations.

We look forward to seeing you again soon!
