Thrust mini-symposium on magnetism
The thrust mini-symposium on magnetism, being coordinated by Prof André Strydom from the University of Johannesburg, will take place from 2:00 to 4:30pm on 7 September 2020 via Zoom to be accessed via the link.
This virtual workshop will encompass presentations by experienced users of neutron facilities to illustrate the possibilities of how South African scientists could benefit from access to neutron beamtime at Necsa and iThemba LABS, as well as ESS internationally. The mini-symposia will serve to be informative to expert and non-expert users to facilitate active participation.
