[Neutron] Second Annual Niels Bohr International Academy Workshop on ESS Science : Bridging Elastic and Inelastic Scattering by means of Computational Studies and Analysis

*Second Annual Niels Bohr International Academy Workshop on ESS Science 
: Bridging Elastic and Inelastic Scattering by means of Computational 
Studies and Analysis *

Dear Colleagues,

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.

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.

Detailed information as well as the registration form are available at 
https://indico.nbi.ku.dk/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=395

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.

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.

This workshop is sponsored by the *Niels Bohr International Academy *and 
by the PhD School of the University of Copenhagen.  There is no fee for 
the participants, but attendance will be limited.

/The school is limited to 20 students to be selected from the 
applications received. /

A limited number of students travel&accommodation will be sponsored by 
the ESS Science Symposia.

Excursion and conference dinner  will be sponsored by *the Øresund 
Materials Innovation Community Program.*
