INSIS is a new international school aimed at providing a comprehensive training in the fundamental concepts of instrumentation for neutron scattering experiments.
The INSIS school is aimed at PhD students, post-doctoral researchers and early career scientists who wish to be involved in the design and development of novel instrumentation and components at present and future neutron sources. The course will provide basic and advanced lectures, simulation activities and tutorials about neutron scattering instrumentation.
The school is intended as a ‘pipeline' initiative, to promote increased activities in instrument design and develop the next generation of instrument designers with a target audience of about 25 students. The school is composed of two distinct parts: the first week (15th - 20th July) will introduce basic instrumentation and components used in neutron scattering research; and the second week (22nd - 27th July) will provide a more in depth insight into neutron detector technologies. Students may participate in the first week, the second week, or both.
Outline of the school
- Comparison with other techniques
- Neutron sources
- Optical components

Applications for the 2012 School will open on the 28th of March 2012.
The deadline for applications will be the 31st of May 2012.
Applicants will be informed of their acceptance or otherwise by the 10th of June 2012
