Welcome to the ESS Data Management and Scientific Computing (DMSC) Summer School 2026!

The school will take place in Lyngby, Denmark, from 24-28 August 2026, with a welcome reception on the afternoon of 23 August. The programme also includes a tour of the ESS facilities in Lund, Sweden, as well as a poster session.

Organised by the European Spallation Source (ESS), the summer school invites participants to explore the role of data throughout the entire scientific lifecycle - from proposal to publication.

The role of data in neutron scattering is evolving, with increasing emphasis on data reduction and analysis, as well as on FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and open data principles. As a result, neutron scattering scientists must develop a thorough understanding of how data underpin their experiments and how to effectively use the tools that maximise its scientific value.

This summer school provides comprehensive training across the full ESS Data Pipeline, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills needed to manage, analyse, and exploit neutron data effectively.
