<p>The Budapest Neutron Centre (BNC), the largest research
infrastructure in
Central Europe operates the 10MW Budapest Research Reactor and
provides <br>
excellence-based open access to the national and international
user
community to the experimental stations.
<br>
<br>
The BNC user program currently includes 14 (thermal and cold
neutron-based) instruments, to carry out research in physics,
chemistry, biology, materials, medical and cultural heritage
sciences.
<br>
<br>
Experiments of granted proposals may be performed in-person or
remotely. Please check further details at <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.bnc.hu">www.bnc.hu</a>
<br>
<br>
Do not hesitate to submit your proposal now, and indicate in your
proposal if you choose the remote experiment option.
<br>
<br>
We encourage potential users to contact the respective instrument
responsible (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://bnc.hu/?q=contacts">https://bnc.hu/?q=contacts</a>)
before application. They will be glad to assist you to submit your
proposal in due time.
