In his role as CEO of the STFC since 2011, Womersley led one of Europe's largest multidisciplinary research organisations. He was directly involved in the UK's decision to join ESS in 2014. He is also a leading figure in European science policy as the former chair of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI), the leading forum for prioritizing strategic investment in research infrastructure in Europe. My vision for ESS is that we should look broader than being the world's best neutron scattering facility, said Womersley. We should also aim to be what everyone looks to in terms of Big Science. Later during the session, Mikael Eriksson from MAX IV and Søren Pape Møller from Aarhus University join the discussion. PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
