Less than 2 weeks to go…. We hope you are all ready to join us on the 5th Sept in Oxford.<br>
You should have received from us information in your inbox in preparation. If you are a residential student, please check-in with the Porter’s Lodge at St. Anne’s College on Sunday 4th September. All students should meet at 08:15am at the Porter’s Lodge of St. Anne’s College and we will take you to the registration and lecture theatre. That evening there will be a small reception for all students in St. Anne’s. Dinner will follow at the college for residential students only. <br>
Do contact us with any queries. Until then, safe travels and see you soon! </p>
<br>
<p align="left"><strong> 9th August 2022</strong></p>
There’s a little bit more than a month to go. In preparation for the start of the school please read and action the following where appropriate: <br><br>
<b>Payment of School Fee</b></p>
<p align="left">
The site is up and running now. Please proceed to payment on <a href="https://cvent.me/8BP3AR?RefId=OSNS2022" target="_blank">https://cvent.me/8BP3AR?RefId=OSNS2022</a>. Choose the appropriate registration type, residential or non-residential, and pay £700 or £200 respectively. <u>Payments can only be made with a credit card</u>. You should receive a confirmation of payment to the email address that you provided on the form. We will then separately send you an official receipt. For those covered by the ISIS-Indian funding agreement, I will make the payments only when you confirm receipt of your visa. So please keep us informed.<br></p>
<p align="left">
<b>Programme</b><br>
The latest version of the school programme can be found <a href="https://www.oxfordneutronschool.org/2022/OSNS22_timetable-v4.pdf">here</a>. The school starts early morning on Monday 5th September at University of Oxford, so those of you who are residential please plan to arrive* on Sunday 4th. We will start the day with lectures and then have tutorials in the afternoon. As you will see, this is the general format of the school. In the afternoon of day 1, however, we will have some maths tutorial at 2pm. This is optional and will be a problem class for those of you that have questions, more info soon. You are all expected to be there for the neutron tutorials starting at 15:30. Monday will finish with a welcome reception at St. Anne’s College, at 6pm, for all students, residential and non-residential. On Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, you will be expected to present your area of work/project to the rest of the students. These should be up to 5 minute presentations and will not require slides (but you can use props or draw on the black/white-board).</p>
<p align="left">
<b>Visas</b><br>
For those of you who have visa applications in progress, please do let us know as soon as you can, of the outcome. </p>

<p align="left">The Oxford School on Neutron Scattering is intended for
scientists and engineers who are new to the field of neutron scattering.
Lectures and tutorials covering the theory and practice of neutron diffraction
and spectroscopy are given by international experts. Students will gain a

<hr>
<h3 align="left"><a name="Programme_">Programme</a></h3>
<p align="left">The first week of the school introduces students to the core concepts of neutron scattering, neutron sources and instrumentation, neutron diffraction and spectroscopy. The second week splits tuition into three focused science areas, physics, chemistry and soft/bio, and provides lectures on neutron techniques and concepts which are most relevant to each area. Each lecture will be accompanied by a tutorial session. The students will be asked to make short presentations to their peers about their current research projects and work in pairs to write a beamtime proposal. The students will also have the opportunity to visit the <a href="https://www.isis.stfc.ac.uk/">ISIS Pulsed Neutron and Muon Facility</a> in Didcot, and to attend a number of evening lectures from prestigious names from the neutron community. In addition, this year are providing an option maths refresher for those students who may want it.</p>
