Soon after the recommendation of the first two instruments for
construction at ESS, the second round of instrument proposals is now
beginning. 

ESS will have a suite of 22 state-of-the-art neutron instruments.
Researchers around Europe are currently exploring different instrument
concepts, investigating how to make best use of the unique performance of
the ESS neutron source. Which specific instruments to build at ESS are
being chosen, a few each year, from among the instrument concepts under
development. The selection is done through a call for proposals, followed
by an evaluation that engages expert reviewers from around the world. Last
year's call for proposals resulted in two instruments being recommended
for construction.

The call for instrument proposals is now open. Details on the review and
decision process, the proposal template, lists of the members of the
reviewing bodies as well as documentation from last year's round can be
found at  http://europeanspallationsource.se/instruments2013.

There will be a new call each year until all 22 instruments are chosen.
Through this process, the reference instrument suite is gradually being
replaced by actual instrument concepts - developed for the community, by
the community.

Please come and see us at the ESS booth at ICNS, or at the "Science and
Scientists at ESS" satellite, July 8th in Edinburgh.
