<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:'Times New Roman'">The neutron community is looking forward for the start of the construction of the ESS: it was demonstrated that the flux at the ESS instruments will exceed the flux of corresponding instruments at continuous
sources by more than an order of magnitude.</span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:'Times New Roman'">However, this outstanding perspective does not diminish the value of the existing continuous neutron sources. The double-digit gain in intensity at the ESS will not directly result in the same gain in
the experimental time, but will be used for flagship experiments aiming weaker effects at smaller samples, so that the time per experiment will be like at present. Therefore, the existing network of neutron sources will further be of an indispensible value
allowing for a large number of standard for today experiments and thus supporting and keeping the largeneutron user community that is vitally important for the successful scientific life of the ESS as well.

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:'Times New Roman'">Indeed, the ESS at the horizon should be a trigger to intensify today’s instrumentation upgrade. Three years of enormous intellectual efforts of the world neutron community, both users and instrument
scientists aiming the definition of new instrumental challenges via science cases and developments of the instrumental concepts resulted in newideas and approaches, which cover the whole neutron tract (target, cold sources, neutron delivery systems, instrument
components and instruments themselves). This stockpile of knowledge can be fruitfully used for the improvement of the existing instrumentation.

to consider the latest instrumental developments for spallation sources through the prism of their use for instrumentation at continuous sources. Challenges met during the construction of the last generation of neutron instruments at continuous sources will
be discussed as well. </span></p>
