ISNIE Summer School

ISNIE SUMMER SCHOOL

Just before the DENIM meeting, the ISNIE Summer School will take place, addressed to young engineers working in the neutron science domain. The aim of the school is to present the basic engineering concepts related to a specific topic.

ISNIE engineering summer schools are one-day programs of lectures and workshops aimed at providing the fundamentals of engineering and operation of one of the core technologies of neutron instruments. Introductory courses are targeted at younger and/or less experienced members of the community, with the intention of being as informative as they are interactive.

Each course is prepared and delivered by a team of experts in the field selected from multiple facilities worldwide. Over the course of the day, successive modules present a coherent overview, from requirements through engineering to installation and operation, using best practices to illustrate both theory and practice.

This edition, the topic off ISNIE Summer School will be neutron shielding and shielding life cycle.
