This year, to coincide with the opening of the United Kingdom's new synchrotron Diamond, the meeting will be held in Wadham College of the University of Oxford (www.wadham.ox.ac.uk <http://www.wadham.ox.ac.uk/> ), with a day at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) including visits to Diamond (www.diamond.ac.uk <http://www.diamond.ac.uk/> ) and to the ISIS neutron facility (www.isis.rl.ac.uk <http://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/> ).
It is planned to arrange a substantial, wide-ranging programme over a full 4 days, in the exceptional environment of an Oxford College. A welcoming reception in the evening of Monday 3rd September will be followed by three days of scientific sessions in Wadham College, and then on Friday 7th a guided visit to Diamond and ISIS, and a closing scientific session on the RAL site.
