Oct 13, 2017
The 2nd Neutron Imaging and Neutron Methods in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage (NINMACH2017) was held in Budapest, Hungary from 11–13 October 2017. The conference was organised by the Budapest Neutron Centre in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in partnership with Elsevier, Mirrotron LTD, Volume Graphics, Brightness, Iperion CH and Hungarian National Museum.

The conference was a significant event, bringing together 103 participants from 24 countries, who presented their research in oral and/or poster presentations. In addition, keynote speakers gave talks on topics such as imaging, cultural heritage, science and technology for archeology, and neutron imaging methods. Besides the keynote lectures and the invited talks, the conference hosted a diverse range of talks connected to the five main topics, 1. Imaging, 2. Multi-technique approach and complementary methods, 3. PGAA&NAA, 4. Neutron scattering and 5. Facilities, techniques and data processing.

During the conference, extended discussions emphasized the need for a) the high-tech instrumentations, b) the authentic and accurate database and c) the systematic comparisons in national/international, entangled or global approaches.

The organizers of the NINMACH conference aim to give continuity to the discussions started in this conference and to encourage cooperations exp. in frame of different projects, like BNC, IperionCH proposals, or in the near future using the ESS infrastructures.
