<p class="MsoPlainText">The conference is organised by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). At ANSTO, we are deploying neutron polarisation analysis capabilities for user research on our suit of instruments (<a href="http://www.ansto.gov.au/AboutANSTO/News/ACS048756"><span style="color:windowtext">http://www.ansto.gov.au/AboutANSTO/News/ACS048756</span></a>).
This includes diffractometer WOMBAT, spectrometers PELICAN, SIKA, TAIPAN, reflectometer PLATYPUS, SANS QUOKKA, and imagining station DINGO. This progress is enabled by a recent successful commissioning of a polarised Helium-3 station (<a href="http://www.ansto.gov.au/AboutANSTO/News/ACS048613"><span style="color:windowtext">http://www.ansto.gov.au/AboutANSTO/News/ACS048613</span></a>).
