The ISIS Practical Neutron Training Course is aimed at PhD and post-doctoral researchers who have little or no experience of neutron scattering, but whose future research program aims to make use of neutron scattering techniques.
2012 Course: 22nd - 31st May 2012
The course concentrates on practical aspects of neutron scattering, using the suite of ISIS neutron instruments.
The 2012 ISIS Neutron Training School will be held from the 22nd to the 31st May 2012
Applications for the 2012 Course will open on the 1st December 2011.
The deadline for applications will be the 15th February 2012.
Applicants will be informed of their acceptance or otherwise on the course by the 10th March 2012
