At this week's International Workshop on Sample Environments for Neutron Scattering, held in Munich (Germany), it was decided that the next meeting in the series will be hosted by ANSTO in Sydney.
The meeting covers the apparatus and infrastructure for achieving high and low temperatures, magnetic and electric fields and high pressures or stresses, amongst other things, for samples in neutron beams.
Around 60 attendees came from around the world, including Scott Olsen and Paolo Imperia, who presented our successful bid to host the next meeting.
When the 2012 meeting takes place in Sydney, it will be for the first time outside Europe or North America.
