Meeting old friends and making new contacts – Big Science Sweden at BSBF in Granada, Spain

The entire Big Science Sweden team is here in southern Spain at BSBF2022. A fantastic event – stimulating and rewarding, and one at which we’re delighted to meet old and new friends from the Big Science community… and face-to-face at long last.

The Big Science Sweden stand - a popular meeting place for colleagues and potential partners and clients.

Seminars, 1-to-1 meetings, meetings over coffee… so much going on, so many opportunities to network. We’re meeting our partners, making new contacts, and supporting and promoting our member companies.

Here are a few photos from the event. We’ll soon be reporting more about the very latest news from the Big Science world and this unique opportunity for Swedish companies to meet scientists and engineers from the research facilities.
