This meeting focused on state-of-the-art applications of SANS across a range of Soft Matter systems, and the future scientific opportunities that will come from new facilities, new instruments, and technical advances. The meeting also celebrated the retirement of Dr Richard K Heenan, principal scientist in SANS at the ISIS Pulsed Neutron & Muon Source.
The event took place at the STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway, Swindon and was attended by over 50 people.
