Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the Fourth Niels Bohr International Academy 
Meeting on ESS Science which will be held November 10 - November 14, 
2013  at the Niels Bohr International Academy in Copenhagen.

The main focus of the 2014 workshop-school will be the  combination of 
elastic and inelastic scattering methods, such as reflectometry, 
quasielastic  and inelastic neutron scattering ( QENS and INS)  to gain 
detailed understanding of relationships between structural and dynamic 
properties and thus ultimately the function of diverse materials. The 
needs and interests of students with a background in the hard-condensed 
matter sciences will be addressed with discussion on the use of these 
experimental methods in magnetism. Results of studies using polarized 
neutron reflectometry (PNR), INS and inelastic X-rays scattering (INX) 
will be at the core of those tutorials.

Detailed information as well as the registration form are available at 
https://indico.nbi.ku.dk/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=712

Following the successful formula from the last years,  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, by 
the PhD School of the University of Copenhagen, by the  Institut 
Français du Danemark and by the European Spallation Source (ESS) . 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.

Niels Bech Christensen (DTU, Denmark)
Heloisa N. Bordallo (NBI, Denmark)
