We are pleased to announce that the 2016 AINSE-ANBUG Neutron Scattering Symposium will be held on Nov 29/30 at the AINSE conference centre, Lucas Heights, New South Wales, at the site of the ANSTO-operated OPAL research reactor near Sydney.
The symposium is the annual meeting of neutron scattering community in Australia and New Zealand, and also welcomes the many international users of the Australian OPAL research reactor. It is a multidisciplinary meeting of scientists, engineers, mathematicians and software developers who work with neutron scattering and imaging. It therefore provides a unique opportunity to present research highlights, and share local knowledge between the sub-disciplines to guide the direction of future neutron science within Australia, and to educate the next generation of innovators.
To register and for further details please visit the conference website.
