Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering Early Career Researcher Clip Day

The Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) Early Career Researcher (ECR) Clip Day is aimed for Honours, PhD, and post-graduate researchers using neutron scattering facilities to conduct their research. Please note: Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, this event will be held online through Zoom.

The ACNS Clip day aims to provide a forum for Early Career Researchers to interact and connect with peers, to gain experience presenting your research to a scientific audience from a broad range of disciplines, and learn about new developments at the ACNS.

All Honours and PhD students are encouraged to apply, even if you do not have results yet! Don’t miss this opportunity to develop your working relationships with your co-supervisors and get to know peers, friends, and future collaborators through their research presentations.

The format will consist of either 5 or 10-minute presentations depending upon the completion status of your studies or project (don’t worry if your research is in its early stages or has been COVID-19 impacted!). The event is planned to be held over two days.

An additional session on “Proposal writing tips” followed by a Q & A session will help demystify the proposal writing process in time for the next neutron beam proposal deadline on March 15^th 2021.
