As you may know ISIS has moved into its 40th year of operation last December.

To celebrate this achievement and to look forward we have arranged a series of science roadshows across the UK in 2024.

We would like to invite you to the next event - Manchester Roadshow, followed by Fender Symposium.

Manchester Roadshow

On the 10th and 11th September we will host a science roadshow at the University of Manchester. The meeting will be morning -midday. 

Our aim for the meeting is to bring together experienced and early career researchers to discuss their science across the full range of research that ISIS supports.

The oral programme covers a broad range of scientific interests and neutron (and muon) techniques. 

There is a poster session at the end of day 1, please submit your title and abstract as part of the registration form if you wish to present your work.

The cost of accommodation (for non-local attendees), travel, tea/coffee breaks, lunches and drinks and drink reception will be covered by ISIS.

Fender Symposium​

On 15th September of this year Professor Sir Brian Fender will celebrate his 90th birthday.

Brian has been influential in many areas of British and European science, notably in the use of neutrons in studies of structural chemistry.

After a period at Oxford University, Brian was Associate Director and then Director of the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble.

He was next appointed Vice-Chancellor of Keele University, and then Chief Executive of the Higher Education Funding Council for England.

He also served as Chairman of the Science Board of the UK's Science and Engineering Research Council.

In recognition of Brian's many and varied contributions to British science, and to neutron scattering, we are organising an informal symposium (BrianFender@90: a life in neutron science) on the afternoon of 11th September, to follow the ISIS@40 Roadshow at University of Manchester.

We would like this to be an informal celebration of Brian's scientific and academic achievements.

This meeting is supported by the Solid State Chemistry group of the Royal Society of Chemistry, by the Neutron Scattering Group of the Institute of Physics and the Royal Society of Chemistry, and by the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source of the Science and Technology Facilities Council.​

The registration is free and the form is available h​ere. 

Please register before the 23rd of August 2024.
