Scientific Programme

There will be fifteen scientific topics, which cover specific and important areas of neutron scattering. In addition eight mini symposia focus on particular and relevant topics. It has become the tradition of the conference that the poster sessions are the central part of the meeting. Therefore each session and each mini-symposium will have its poster session.

Printable files (pdf) of the Abstract Book, i.e. Conference Programme (preface, 3MB!) and abstracts of the talks, as well as Poster Session A, Session B and Session C and Author Index are available. Please do not care about the page breaks. The printed version will be much better.

Young Scientist Award


Several prizes for young authors presenting the best contributed papers will be awarded during the conference (one award per subject category). Each award will consist of a cash grant, a plaque and a certificate and will be presented at the closing session of the conference.

The eligibility criteria are:

  1. Having the status of a student, a Ph. D. student or post-doctoral scientist with a maximum of threee years after passing the Ph.D. The status (student or post-doc) has to be garanteed by their supervisor according to the following application form.
  2. Attending the conference as presenting author of an accepted contribution (oral or poster).
  3. High level research results, as well as excellent performance in the presentation.
The selection committee consists of the eleven members of the International Programme Committee. A first selection will be made on the basis of the abstracts and statements recieved and later scrutinity will be made during the conference.
