The New User Symposium offers an introduction to the capabilities offered at the Australian Synchrotron. The 2 day event is tailored to novice potential Users of these techniques, and is to be held this year online.
Aspects of the event include User access arrangements, available support, and some of the typical applications of techniques across biomedical research, materials and physical sciences and environmental fields.
The session times listed are in Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) as the event is hosted virtually from Melbourne, Australia.
It has been timed to allow online attendance from interested Users from time zones from India to New Zealand.
