NIAC2024

The NIAC2024 meeting will be held as a hybrid event hosted by The European Synchrotron (ESRF) & the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), in Grenoble - France from 27th to 30th September 2024, the week after the 2024 NOBUGS conference.

People will be able to participate both onsite and online (via Zoom). In order to better overlap with other time zones, the meeting sessions will be shorter and later in the day (CEST) over 4 days.

Venue and Accommodation

The European Synchrotron is the world’s brightest synchrotron light source with 21 partner countries, 46 beamlines and 10.000 visitors per year.

The Institut Laue-Langevin is an international research centre at the leading edge of neutron science and technology.

Both institutes are part of the European Photon & Neutron (EPN) Science Campus, a science hub hosting major international institutes for the exploration of living matter and materials.

Registration

Registration Form

One Page Overview

Note there are two registration forms, for onsite and remote attendance.

• Those onsite need to register for the NIAC satellite meeting (100 EUR registration fee), but do not need to register for NOBUGS if they are only coming for NIAC. Please see the “Registration form for in person satellite meetings (ONLY)”.
• Remote attendees should use the “Registration form for remote participants”.
• Remote attendees who do not participate in NOBUGS do NOT need to register. A Zoom meeting ID will be shared in due time.

People outside of the NIAC are invited to join discussions and register for the meeting but voting will be restricted to committee members only.

COVID19 Precautions

There are currently no coronavirus restrictions in place at ESRF or the French government. However, the situation could change, especially as the weather gets cooler, and we encourage attendees to consider both their own safety and the safety of others with appropriate hygiene, testing and vaccination.

Agenda

The meeting agenda will be based on a Github project so that it is accessible to all particpants. Any proposal to be discussed and voted on should be documented as an issue in the nexusformat/NIAC repository.

The main task of the meeting is to ratify contributed definitions that are ready into the main NeXus repository of application definitions and base classes. Initial work by a NIAC organizing committee has split the work into two projects, depending on the whether the contribution arose from the FAIRMAT project:

• Review of non-FAIRMAT Contributed Definitions.
• Review of FAIRMAT Contributed Definitions (link will be provided when ready).
