Meet F4E at the Big Science Business Forum in Copenhagen, 26-28 February 2018

More than 650 delegates from 25 countries, representing more than 250 businesses and organisations from the international Big Science landscape, have already registered for Big Science Business Forum 2018 (BSBF2018). As a key organiser, F4E will be present at BSBF2018, giving 14 presentations on various business areas on the Big Science market. With less than two months to go, interested is encouraged to sign up for BSBF2018 now.

F4E has joined forces with some of the world’s largest Big Science organisations (CERN, EMBL, ESA, ESO, ESRF, ESS, European XFEL and ILL) to create BSBF2018. Together, we want to contribute to a stronger, more transparent and consolidated Big Science market in Europe for the benefit of both Big Science and businesses.

An additional eight other Big Science organisations (ALBA, DESY, ELI-NP, ENEA, MAX IV, SCK•CEN–MYRRHA, PSI and SKA) are BSBF2018 Affiliated Big Science organisations, increasing the current number of Big Science expert speakers to more than 100. BSBF2018 is the first time that 17 of the world’s largest Big Science organisations are united under one roof to present their future investments worth billions of euros and to meet the Big Science industry together.
