<b>Second Annual Niels Bohr International Academy Workshop on ESS
Science : Bridging Elastic and Inelastic Scattering by means of
Computational Studies and Analysis
</b><br>
<br>
Dear Colleagues,
<br>
<br>
We are pleased to announce the Second Niels Bohr International
Academy Meeting on ESS Science which will be held June 25 - June 29,
2012 at the Niels Bohr International Academy in Copenhagen.
<br>
<br>
The aim of the 2012 workshop is to delineate ways in which one can
derive a reliable picture of /'*where the atoms are and what the
atoms do'*/**in condensed phases. Experiments on atomic and
molecular structure by X-ray and neutron diffraction, or on the
dynamics of molecules by inelastic neutron scattering experiments,
can be interpreted by and combined with advanced computational
methods, Molecular Dynamics, Monte Carlo and Quantum Chemical
calculations, that are critical for an understanding of complex or
disordered structures, as well a description of the dynamical
processes in the materials.
<br>
<br>
Detailed information as well as the registration form are available
at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<br>
<br>
The main focus of the discussions will be on the use of theoretical
simulations (both empirical and ab-initio) for the detailed, atomic
level interpretation experimental data from X-ray and neutron
diffraction as well as inelastic neutron scattering, on the
structure and dynamics in a wide range of materials.
<br>
<br>
Following the successful formula from last year, the students will
be given a small project and will be guided by the lecturers to a
solution. In parallel with, and following the school we plan to hold
a small but intensive scientific meeting on carefully selected
topics of relevance to the school and of current interest with
extensive discussion between experimental and computational
scientists.
<br>
<br>
This workshop is sponsored by the <b>Niels Bohr International
Academy </b>and by the <b class="moz-txt-star"><span
class="moz-txt-tag"></span>PhD School of the University of
Copenhagen<span class="moz-txt-tag"></span></b>. There is no fee
for the participants, but attendance will be limited.
<br>
<br>
<i>The school is limited to 20 students to be selected from the
applications received.

<br>
A limited number of students travel&accommodation will be
sponsored by the <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag"></span>ESS
