<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">This message is sent on behalf of the organizers of the 2017 GRC and GRS on Neutron Scattering<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Dear Neutron Scattering Colleagues;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">The 2017 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Symposium (GRS) on Neutron Scattering will be held August 5-6 (GRS) and August (6-10) at the Hong Kong University for Science and Technology.
The GRC features a single plenary session format, in the Gordon Conference tradition, that focuses on in-depth discussion between the attendees, invited speakers and discussion leaders. The GRS is organized for and by graduate students and postdocs, and includes
both sessions with a scientific focus as well as sessions dedicated to professional development and issues of relevance to early career scientists. This will be the inaugural GRS on Neutron Scattering, but we are hoping to make it a regular part of the overall
GRC Neutron Scattering program in years to come.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">The GRC program and poster are available, as is the poster for the GRS. Registration for both the 2017 GRC and GRS in neutron scattering are now open. As you’ll see the program is wide ranging and features
an excellent slate of international speakers, and ample time for in depth and small group discussions. Note that there will be contributed poster sessions and four contributed talks in the final program (these are not included in the attached program), drawn
from the poster contributions of the registered attendees. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">We have received generous international sponsorship and we are pleased to be able to offer some support to partially cover the costs of registration and accommodation – initially up to $500US with a preference
for supporting qualified young neutron scientists. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">You can apply by going to the following websites and following the instructions for attendees:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
