Description

Late registration was opened until Jan. 28th 2013

We would like to invite all colleagues working on the field of "Activation Analysis" as well as "Radiochemistry" in Germany, Austria and neighbour countries for an informal exchange of ideas and strengthening the cooperation. In particular, we would like to encourage young scientists to take this opportunity to introduce themselves to the community.

The workshop will be this time focused on the gamma-spectroscopy, which represents an important part of the activation analysis.

Tuesday, 26 February 2013: The registration desk will be open from 10:00 on. Talks will be starting at 13:00 with a short welcome. The postersession and a welcome gathering is scheduled at 18:30.
On Wednesday talks will be held in the morning and the afternoon before leaving to Munich downtown for the excursion to the Neue Pinakothek and an evening event.
The workshop will end around noon time on Thursday, 28 February. In the afternoon guided tours through the research reactor FRM II or the Department of Radiochemistry will be offered.
