About the School
The Oxford School on Neutron Scattering is intended primarily for scientists who are new to the field of neutron scattering. Lectures and tutorials covering all aspects of the theory and practice of neutron diffraction and spectroscopy will be given by international experts. Students will gain a comprehensive grounding in modern techniques and applications at both steady state and pulsed neutron sources and have the opportunity to hear about the latest research being carried out with the technique.
Registration and Fees
Places at the school are in high demand. To register you will need to submit a personal statement and a statement from your academic supervisor. These will be used in the selection process.
Registration is closed.
School fees for 2011 are £420 (€500) per residential student which includes the cost of a bedroom during the school, breakfast and an evening meal, teaching materials, drinks reception and gala dinner. There are 50 residential places available.
