This publication is a summary of a technical meeting on use of neutron beams for high precision nuclear data measurements and additional materials supplied by international experts, together with the individual contributions describing the current status of their respective neutron beam facilities, highlighting major achievements and future developments in this field. It describes both the research reactor and accelerator based neutron beam facilities for nuclear data measurements, classifies them according to the type of neutron source (reactor or accelerator based), the neutron energy accessible to individual facilities or the measurement technique employed. In addition, the state of the art of experimental sample and target preparation, instrumentation, data acquisition and new research trends in the field are summarized.
