ECNS

The "European Conference on Neutron Scattering" (ECNS) series is organized every four years by the European Neutron Scattering Association ENSA
(home page:  http://neutron.neutron-eu.net/n_ensa/).

The Chairman of ENSA is now Peter Allenspach, PSI.

The first of this series was held in Interlaken (CH) in 1996,
