Meetings and Workshops<br />
Planning and coordinating meetings and workshops<br />
is one of our most vital outreach activities. As usual,<br />
<strong>2008</strong> was a very busy year.<br />
<strong>Neutron</strong> Scattering Education Workshop<br />
Education efforts were highlighted by the workshop<br />
“Building a Network for <strong>Neutron</strong> Scattering Education,”<br />
held in March <strong>2008</strong>. The goal of this workshop<br />
was to define and design a roadmap for a comprehensive<br />
neutron scattering education program in the<br />
United States. The workshop report is available at<br />
neutrons.ornl.gov/workshops/nse<strong>2008</strong>/Workshop<strong>Report</strong>.pdf.<br />
Workshop participants developed recommendations<br />
for three audiences: the general public, scientists who<br />
do not currently use neutron scattering, and scientists<br />
who already use neutron scattering. For each<br />
audience, the participants developed goals, metrics, a<br />
description of the current status, gaps, and proposed<br />
actions. The proposed actions were partitioned into<br />
those that should be initiated now, those that should<br />
be initiated within a year, and those that are long<br />
term. Four primary actions were identified that have<br />
the highest priority for implementation: developing<br />
a neutronsources.org Web site, enhancing universitybased<br />
teaching, expanding neutron schools, and<br />
providing advanced software and virtual tools.<br />
