Now-a-days, promotion of life science by utilizing neutron (neutrons biology) is highly demanded in our country, following installation and improvement of high quality and intensity neutron sources at J-PARC and JRR-3. Aiming at accelerating development of neutrons biology in our country, an international workshop "Neutron biology for next generation" was held as a J-PARC Workshop at Ibaraki Quantum Beam Research Center from 22 March to 23 March in 2017. In the workshop, latest instruments, new-fashioned methodologies, recent scientific results and future perspectives were extensively discussed by domestic neutron instrumental scientists and domestic/foreign neutron biologists. This is a report of the workshop summarized by organizers.
