<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">This is the second announcement of the 7th School on Representational Analysis and Magnetic Structures (RAMS). The school is targeted towards researchers interested in
applying group theory to solving magnetic structures with neutron diffraction. The school will cover both representational analysis and magnetic space group approaches. The program will include both lectures and labs working with software such as SaraH,
FULLPROF, and the ISOTROPY software suite. We will also provide an overview of magnetic symmetry tools developed on the Bilbao crystallographic server. Invited lecturers include Andrew Wills (U. College, London), Huibo Cao (ORNL), Stuart Calder (ORNL),
V. Ovidiu Garlea (ORNL), Clarina Dela Cruz (ORNL), Efrain Rodriguez (UMD), William Ratcliff (NIST), and Branton Campbell (Brigham Young University).
