International Meeting on The Future of Portuguese Science at Large-Scale Research Infrastructure beyond NEPHEWS Project

Across Europe and the World, there are major experimental facilities involving Brilliant X-ray Sources (Synchrotron) and Neutron Sources which we are able to use for free to support our research.  Such facilities do not exist in Portugal.

Portugal is currently one of the eight priority countries benefiting from the NEPHEWS Project, which, under the coordination of Professor Ana Gomes Silva of CEFITEC in Portugal, supports Portuguese researchers and engineers who use (or aim to use) synchrotron and neutron techniques — including members of ENURS, NeMPo, and the wider Portuguese scientific community.

The International Meeting “The Future of Portuguese Science at Large-Scale Research Infrastructure beyond NEPHEWS Project”, https://conference.fct.unl.pt/e/ScPTNEP aims to discuss the perspectives of scientists and engineers of large-scale research facilities beyond NEPHEWS project.

The event will also be used to launch a new Association of Portuguese Users of International Large-Scale facilities.

Registration and abstract submission are open.
