<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Powder Diffraction and Total Scattering User Community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are excited to announce the upcoming RMCProfile Workshop at the Spallation Neutron Source, February 10-12, 2016. Please see the attached flier for details. Half of the workshop will be focused on providing hands-on training with RMCProfile
software, with the balance focused on providing a technical foundation and highlighting exemplary work in the community. The final day of the workshop will interface participants with a panel of experts focused on defining challenges and future directions.
We are aiming to attract graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and early career scientists to the tutorial, science, and panel portions of the program, as well as more senior experts in the field for the science and panel portions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will select 30 participants for the tutorial portion of the workshop. Selected applicants will be notified on or before December 21. Go to
<a href="https://conference.sns.gov/event/4">https://conference.sns.gov/event/4</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and register by selecting ‘Apply Now’. Kindly indicate what parts of the workshop you are interested in (and why) under the “Reason for Participation” portion of the application. We are also providing an opportunity for attendees to present
relevant work and/or future challenges in the form of short talks or posters: we encourage you to provide a tentative title in the “Poster/Talk Title” portion. There is no registration fee, meals will be provided, and government rate and room-sharing options
will be offered at our guest house. Unfortunately we cannot provide travel support to attend this workshop.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Please let us know if you have questions or comments. We are looking forward to hosting you in Oak Ridge!<o:p></o:p></p>
