The programme of the meeting will cover biological problems that are currently being addressed by different neutron scattering techniques as well as those where there is the potential to do so in the future. A conscious effort will therefore be made to involve researchers whose activities currently do not exploit these methods. The meeting is organized by Physical Chemistry, Lund University and scientists associated with neutron facilities around Europe. <br><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; "><br><b>REGISTRATION AND DETAILED PROGRAMME AT</b><b>:</b> <font color="#0000FF"><u><a href="http://www.ill.eu/nib2009">http://www.ill.eu/nib2009</a><br></u></font>THE DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS FOR POSTER PRESENTATIONS IS 8 JUNE.<br>A PRIZE, SPONSORED BY BIOCHEMICAL JOURNAL, WILL BE AWARDED TO THE BEST POSTER<br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT TOMMY NYLANDER (Lund University) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; ">at: <a href="x-msg://47/Tommy.Nylander@fkem1.lu.se">Tommy.Nylander@fkem1.lu.se</a></span></span></span></font></div><div><br></div><div><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; ">We are grateful for the financial support from among others The Swedish Research Council, The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences through its Nobel Institute of Chemistry, NMI3, ESS-Scandinavia, Lund kommun and the Skåne region.<br><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; "><br><b>INVITED TALKS INCLUDE:</b></span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; "><b><br></b>S.
