BCA Industrial Group Autumn Meeting

APPLICATIONS OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION

 Diamond Light Source

Harwell Science and Innovation Campus

3-4 November 2010 

Our autumn meeting this year will take place at the Diamond Light Source.  Set over two days at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus there will be a variety of lectures by Diamond beamline scientists as well as academic and industrial application scientists.  Confirmed speakers include Bill David (ISIS), Chris Frampton (Pharmorphix), Gemma Newby (ESRF),   Emyr MacDonald (Cardiff) and Dave Rugg (Rolls-Royce).  Further details on the programme will be published in due course.  There will also be an opportunity to tour inside the Diamond ring and to see selected beamlines during the meeting.  

 

The meeting fee includes registration, overnight accomodation, conference dinner and lunch on the final day and is £180.  For non-residents the fee for registration, conference dinner and lunch on the final day is £100.  The limited number of free student places have now all been filled.  There is an optional lunch available for all on the first day for an additional £5.
