We are reaching out to inform you about the establishment of a new professional association - the Czech Neutron Association (Česká neutronová asociace, z. s.), founded to unite, support, and represent the community of Czech users of neutron radiation.

The Association's mission is to:

  1. Bring together researchers and institutions using neutron radiation across disciplines.
  2. Promote the potential and results of research based on neutron methods.
  3. Facilitate dialogue between the scientific community, the public, and government authorities.
  4. Represent the interests of the Czech neutron community in European and other international institutions and structures with relevant thematic focus.

We believe that the Czech Neutron Association will significantly contribute to the coordination of national neutron infrastructure, strengthen international cooperation, and facilitate access for Czech researchers to world-class experimental facilities and expertise.

Membership in the Association offers the opportunity to participate in the development of neutron research in the Czech Republic, engage in joint scientific initiatives, and become part of a representative platform for neutron-based science at both national and international levels. More information about the Association’s activities, its statutes, and the membership application will be presented during Struktura 2025; and can be found at neutrons.cz.
