DENIM 2018

16 Sept 2018, 14:00 → 9 Nov 2018, 23:59 Europe/Zurich

WHGA/001 Auditorium (Paul Scherrer Institut)

We are pleased to announce that the 7th Design and Engineering of Neutron Instruments meeting will be held at PSI, Switzerland, from September 16 to 19, 2018. This will prove to be an essential conference for all engineers and technicians interested in the project management, design, specification, fabrication, acceptance testing, operation maintenance and upgrades of neutron scattering instruments. We look forward to seeing you in the heart of Europe next autumn.
