ESS Code of Conduct and other Relevant Policies
ESS Core Values |
Excellence
We provide the world’s leading neutron science facility and world-class support for the science community. We advance the use of neutrons in science and technology by supporting and developing instrumentation and tools for the highest quality application of neutrons in research. We always aim for scientific, technical, and operational excellence in the safest environment.
Collaboration
We are an integral member of European society and we engage with the scientific and industrial communities to help build and operate ESS. In our everyday work and all our interactions, we seek to build and maintain relationships that create a shared sense of ownership among our stakeholders. Internally and externally we are committed to act and speak with one voice, as One ESS.
Openness
We perform our work in an open and transparent manner. In this way we build trust with our partners, our stakeholders and with each other. We are willing to collectively and directly address challenges, and celebrate success. We demonstrate on all levels, internally and externally, that we stand for what we say in the way we act.
Sustainability
We act and make decisions with a long-term perspective and strive to safely and responsibly use natural, human and monetary resources. We take the full life cycle of ESS into account, and view sustainability from environmental, social and economic perspectives.
