The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), as coordinator of the new neutron consortium SINE2020, has just signed the Grant Agreement. The next step is the EC signature, and then all the 18 partners will be invited to sign the Accession forms. The establishment of the Consortium Agreement is currently under progress. Once the EC has signed the project SINE2020 can start this year on October 1^st.
