  There is currently a strong interest in Compact Accelerator-based Neutron
Source (CANS) as a possible new type of source for neutron scattering
experiments. A workshop around the "Neutron scattering instrumentation around
CANS" was organized in July 2017 between several European institutes. This
report summarizes the main outcome of the discussions. The document is aiming
at providing general guidelines for the instrumentation around CANS. Detailed
technical discussions are or will be provided in specific publications.
