Workshop on Neutron Scattering Education; Chantilly, VA

印第安纳大学化学学部和材料研究学部支持一个名为？建立中子散射教育网络？并于2008年3月27日至28日在弗吉尼亚州尚蒂伊举行。研讨会汇集了中子散射专家和其他具有非传统教育项目开发经验的学者；目的是为美国的中子散射综合教育计划制定和设计一个路线图。这将导致国家在中子科学方面的智力资本最大化，并增加中子散射研究问题的复杂性。美国首要的中子设施。参与者将分散和独立的教育项目元素汇集在一起，形成一个基于现代工具的综合倡议。更广泛、更长期的影响将是一个能够充分利用国家实验室独特工具的研究社区的发展。美国首屈一指的国家设施。pi致力于让来自传统黑人学院和大学以及其他少数族裔教育机构的少数族裔成员参与进来。

This Chemistry Division and the Division of Materials Research to Indiana University support a workshop entitled ?Building a Network for Neutron Scattering Education? and held on March 27-28, 2008 Chantilly, Virginia. The workshop brings together neutron scattering experts and other academicians with experience in developing non traditional educational programs; the objective is to define and design a roadmap for a comprehensive neutron scattering education program in the US. This will lead to maximizing the national intellectual capital in neutron sciences, and increase the sophistication of research questions addressed by neutron scattering at the Nation?s premier neutron facilities. Participants bring together the scattered and independent elements of an education program and form them into a comprehensive initiative based on modern tools. The broader, long term, impact will be the development of a research community capable of taking full advantage of the unique tools at the Nation?s premier national facilities. The PIs are committed to involve members of underrepresented minorities from Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other Minority Education Institutions.
