Neutrons and Food Workshop, Nov. 2010
The Institute was successful in gaining $24k of external funding from the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, under its International Science Linkages Program, for a workshop "Neutrons and Food: Addressing the challenges of food science in an evolving global environment using novel methods". The workshop will run 31 October – 3 November 2010 in Sydney, in partnership with the European Union's NMI-3 Integrated Infrastructure Initiative for Neutron Scattering and Muon Spectroscopy, which has also provided funding support. We expect 70-80 attendees from Australia and around the world.
