The purpose of this theme is to study the European Spallation Source (ESS) to be inaugurated in Lund 2019. We will apply perspectives from economics, the social sciences and the humanities to analyze ESS as a contemporary Big-Science facility focusing on processes of legitimation, the building and management of reliable collaborations, common understandings of scientific problems, data, etc.
