<p class=MsoNormal>We are pleased to announce the <b><i>Workshop on Neutron
Scattering Techniques for Studies in Catalysis</i></b><i><span
style='color:red'> </span></i>which will be held <span style='color:red'>September
16 and 17</span>, 2010 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.<i> </i> ORNL
is the home of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and the High Flux Isotope
Reactor (HFIR) making it a World premier location for performing Neutron
Science. The goal of this workshop is to bring the catalysis and
biocatalysis communities together with experts in neutron science to discuss,
explore and develop application of neutron methods to grand science challenges
in catalysis as described in the <i>Basic Energy Sciences Basic Research Needs
Workshop Report: Catalysis for Energy</i>. Detailed information about the
Workshop is available at <a
href="http://neutrons.ornl.gov/conf/NandC2010/index.shtml">http://neutrons.ornl.gov/conf/NandC2010/index.shtml</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Technical sessions will feature both experts in catalysis
and experts in the use of neutron scattering methods for probing catalysis or
catalytically relevant materials. Sessions will include extensive
discussion and Q&A session. There will be breakout sessions aimed to allow
all participants an opportunity to explore how they might apply neutron methods
address their challenges in catalysis. A tour of the SNS will be included. By
the end of the Workshop, the attendees should have the vision and knowledge to
prepare their own beamline proposal for performing experiments at the HFIR, SNS
or other neutron science center. The presentations and a summary of the
discussions will be captured in a Workshop report and the speaker’s
presentations will be summarized in articles to be included in a special issue
of <i>Topics in Catalysis</i> and augmented by contributed articles.
Plans will also be initiated for a related session at future American Chemical
Society annual meeting. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Registration for the Workshop is free, but attendance will
be limited. We encourage you to apply for attendance at <a

Registration will be closed after about Aug 15, and followed by email
confirmation of acceptance to the Workshop. Contact Steve Overbury (<a
