Abstract: 





The European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund is expected to have first beam 
on target and thereby first neutron production in the summer of next year. 
The proton accelerator has already had nominal beam current to 74 MeV in the 
normal-conducting part of the linac, and installation of the superconducting 
linac is progressing rapidly. Installation of the spallation target is 
similarly making rapid progress, and the 15 neutron instruments will be 
commissioned in three tranches until the start of user operation in 2027. The 
presentation will give an introduction to ESS and its science goals and 
review the status of installation and commissioning activities towards start 
of user operation.
