Proposal submission via ILL website
Apply OnLine
Before writing a proposal, it is mandatory to contact well in advance both local contacts to evaluate the feasibility of the experiment. See important dates for next proposal dedline and subcommittee meetings.

Be careful: deadlines for applying for beamtime are different from EMFL deadlines and can change from one year to another.
In general, a call for proposals is launched twice a year (deadlines in February and September).
Users with accepted proposal must get in touch with both local contacts as early as possible to prepare the experiment (to orientate the sample and mount it on the sample holder before the neutron beamtime).
