At the official opening of OPAL, Prof. Werner Burkart, Deputy Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), announced that ANSTO has been made an IAEA Collaborating Centre for Neutron Scattering Applications.

ANSTO-AINSE Neutron School on Diffraction 29 Nov - 3 Dec 2007

This school will provide training for newcomers to neutron scattering with a focus on diffraction: its use and its applications. We will have lectures but also practical sessions with hands-on experiments and data analysis. The School is aimed at PhD students and post docs - novice users and will be limited to 30 people.
Participants affiliated with AINSE member institutions will only pay a participation fee of AUS$150. For these participants AINSE will cover travel and shared accommodation costs, including meals. Participants from other institutions will be asked for a course fee of AUS$520 (incl. 5 nights and meals). Participants are encouraged to register for the ANBUG symposium that follows the school (4-6 Dec 07).
Participants will be selected based on:
(a) an abstract outlining an aspect of their scientific project to be presented as a poster at the School and
(b) a letter of recommendation from their supervisor (including the potential role of neutron scattering for the project).

Deadline for Registration: 26 August 2007.
