The ANBUG-AINSE Neutron Scattering Symposium (AANSS) 2024 will be held in person from the 4th to 6th November 2024 at Lucas Heights NSW, home to ANSTO’s multi-purpose OPAL research reactor and the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering. The symposium will be hosted at AINSE and ANSTO conference facilities.
AANSS is the biennial symposium of the Australian and New Zealand neutron scattering community and aims to bring together the users (both local and international) of Australia’s neutron research infrastructure with other global experts and users of neutron instrumentation.
The Organising Committee chaired by Kirrily Rule is developing an exciting line up of invited speakers from both the local and global neutron communities. These will be announced over the coming weeks on the AANSS 2024 website.
The symposium will take place over 3 days to encompass science talks and poster presentations across 8 topics/themes which includes ‘Deuteration for neutrons’. This will also, enable many opportunities to network and engage with your fellow delegates to both renew and establish connections and collaborations.
This symposium is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, postdoctoral and early career researchers and scientists at all career stages.
We look forward to welcoming you to AANSS 2024 in November and hearing about your research.

ANBUG Women in Neutron Scattering Program
Funding available: To encourage more female students and ECRs to attend the ANBUG user meeting-AANSS 2024 (ANBUG-AINSE Neutron Scattering Symposium) for research exchange and networking, a special program has been developed aiming to promote women involved in the neutron scattering community. This initiative is under the umbrella of the ARC Georgina Sweet AustralianLaureate Fellowship program. Several financial support options to a maximum of $500 (AUD) will be provided to the awardees.
