Group PictureIt was a pleasure to attend the 28th JCNS Neutron Laboratory Course 2026. The first week was a series of lectures on neutron scattering theory and techniques at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The second week was hands-on experiments on the instruments at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble. The course was a great opportunity to gain practical experience with neutron instrumentation and to exchange ideas with fellow young researchers from across Europe.
