The European Commission made the article “European Spallation Source: disintegrating nuclei, integrating neutron science”

Streamlining logistics, strengthening European neutron science

BrightnESS-2 also serendipitously led to the formation of RI.Logistica a logistics organisation specialising in RIs, following a BrightnESS-2 conference on RIs’ logistics challenges with 230 professionals from more than 30 countries. In addition to ESS, the founding RI members comprise the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser Facility (European XFEL) and the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). CERN, European XFEL and ITER are also the world’s largest in their respective fields. The organisation will support RIs in developing in-house logistics expertise based on best practices from industry. Whether transporting sensitive vaccines or moving huge equipment transnationally, RIs will enhance their logistics operations’ efficiency, enabling them to focus on science. “With RI.Logistica we potentially change and improve the logistics for RIs worldwide,” adds Andersen.”
