Science in Grenoble

Grenoble, at the foot of the Alps, is home to two of Europe's large research machines. The European Synchrotron (ESRF) produces very bright X-ray beams for studying materials, molecules and even fossils. Next door, the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) runs a research reactor that supplies neutrons for experiments.

Both share a scientific campus where the Isère and Drac rivers meet, and researchers from many countries come here to run their experiments. Grenoble.science will cover these facilities, the city's wider research landscape and what the work done here means for science elsewhere.
