The KFN is an elected board with aim of fostering research with neutrons.
 |
The German Neutron Scattering Conference 2020 will take place on December 9 and 10, 2020 together with the MLZ User Meeting (December 8 and 9) online. There will be more information on the conference homepage. Register until November 20th! |
The neutron users in Germany have elected their representatives for the next 3 years.
 |
The 12. KFN has the following elected members: Thomas Keller, Mirijam Zobel, Markus Braden, Susan Schorr, Holger Kohlmann, Frank Schreiber and Ulli Köster. Congratulations! Additional members can be co-opted to represent further research areas. Together with the guests - the facility directors and the representatives of the project management organisation and of the BMBF - the new KFN will continue to represent the interests of neutron users in Germany.

From Big Data to Smart Data: Digititalisation in basic scientific research
 |
The BMBF has published the action plan "ErUM-Data - from Big Data to Smart Data". The aim is to make greater use of the great potential of digital solutions from basic research in order to continue excellent research in the future and to meet social challenges at the same time. To this end, the action plan defines measures in the three overarching thematic fields of "Research Data Management", "Federated Digital Infrastructures" and "Software and Algorithms". It is important that researchers work together on an interdisciplinary basis, i.e. from different areas of ErUM (Research on Universe and Matter) and from different disciplines, such as physics, mathematics, computer science and data sciences.

Call for contributions to a special issue of the journal "Applied Sciences", deadline is April 30, 2021
 |
You are invited to submit a contribution to a Special Issue on Recent Advances in Small-Angle Neutron Scattering in the Journal Applied Sciences. Small-Angle Neutron scattering as a method is extremely versatile, which is mirrored both in the experimental concepts and sample environments that are available for it, as well as the range of scientific fields employing SANS. In order create a comprehensive overview over the most recent advances, both on the instrument technology side as well as the experimental side, there will be a dedicated special issue. [more]

We would like to draw your attention to the rapid access programs of the centers for COVID-19 research.
Research with synchrotron radiation and neutrons makes a valuable contribution to the development of drugs and vaccines against COVID-19. The first results have already been published and other studies are ongoing, see television report on RBB. Related investigations have priority at the facilites. [more] |
