We will then transfer to the cosy fishing village of Vik on the East coast of Skåne for eight full days of instrument design. The first week will consist of lectures and tutorials in which simple analytical and conceptual methods are covered for the optimisation of different instrument types. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>The second week will cover Monte Carlo simulation tools, such as McStas and Vitess, with a similar programme to the previous simulation school held on the island of Ven 17th-21st of May 2010. </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Hope to see you there, </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Ken Andersen, on behalf of the organising committee</div><div><br></div><div>
