Institutional Organizers

 Neutrons Canada: Incorporated in October 2022, Neutrons Canada is a not-for-profit corporation whose purpose is to govern, manage, and represent Canada’s infrastructure program for research and development with neutron beams, including international partnerships that secure access to world-leading neutron laboratories, operation of Canada’s domestic neutron beam facilities, and national initiatives for future neutron sources, thereby enabling Canadians to address major social and economic challenges. Neutrons Canada is operated by an independent Board of Directors elected by member institutions, presently 14 universities, that conduct research with neutron beams.

CIFAR: CIFAR is a Canadian-based global research organization that convenes 

extraordinary minds to address the most important questions facing science and 

humanity.We are supported by the governments of Canada and Quebec, as well as 

foundations,individuals, corporations and Canadian and international partner 

organizations.

Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering (CINS): The Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering (CINS) is a not-for-profit, voluntary organization that represents the Canadian scientific community of neutron beam users and promotes scientific research using neutron beams. 

 

 

 McMaster University: McMaster is Canada’s nuclear university, and home to the McMaster Nuclear Reactor, the nation’s only high-powered neutron source, and an associated suite of nuclear facilities. As such, McMaster enables a broad range of neutron-based research programs in health, materials, and environmental sciences that could not otherwise exist in Canada.

 

Sponsor Organizations

 

 ISIS Neutron and Muon Source: ISIS is a world-leading centre for research in the physical and life sciences. It offers 30 neutron and muon instruments to researchers in the United Kingdom and around the world.
