SNSS Seminar Series, starting 17 November, on Neutron Imaging
2020-11-09
The Swedish neutron scattering society (SNSS) is starting a seminar series on different topics. The plan is to have two hours of presentations every three month and address areas of research, which are expected to be possible as soon as the ESS starts. The first seminar will be on neutron imaging and take place on 17 November, at 13:00-15:00 hrs. The program and abstracts are attached below.

SwedNess receives extended funding from SSF
2020-01-17
The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) has decided to extend the funding of the SwedNess research school by 100 million SEK until 2025.
The funding ensures a five-year extention of the research school and will be used to finance 20 new doctoral projects within SwedNess, according to the director Martin Häggblad Sahlberg.
An interview with director Martin Häggblad Sahlberg can be found on Uppsala University's staff portal (in Swedish).
More information regarding the funding of SwedNess can be found on the SSF website.

Imaging/Tomography, 23-26 March, 2020, at Lund University
2020-01-15
The objectives of this doctoral-level course are to develop awareness and understanding of different neutron imaging methods and their possible applications in different areas of research. Students should thus be able to make more effective use of neutron imaging in research by identification of the best methods, understanding the strengths of different methods/facilities and understanding the importance and key aspects of data analysis. Students will also gain insight into the future possibilities in neutron imaging, e.g., at ESS.
The course is open to doctoral students, postdocs and researchers. Preference will be given to doctoral students, and in particular those in the SWEDNESS program. Acceptance to the course will be given at the end of February. Students wishing to gain course credits towards their PhD degree will be expected to submit follow-up course work that, together with the lectures, will amount to 3 ECTS. There is no charge to attend the course, which is organised in collaboration between SwedNess and LINXS (www.linxs.se).
