Schedule of Events

The Joint NSLS and CFN Users' Meeting and Workshops are hosted and sponsored by the National Synchrotron Light Source and the Center for Functional Nanomaterials Users' Associations, external organizations representing the users of the NSLS and the CFN. The meeting and workshops are supported primarily by registration fees paid by the participants. Social events, lunches and coffee are provided to registered attendees, compliments of our exhibitors and sponsors.

The NSLS Users' Executive Committee and the CFN Users' Executive Committee, the elected bodies of each association, cordially invite all BNL employees to attend the Tuesday Morning Plenary Sessions, free of charge.

All other sessions are dedicated to scientific talks and require registration. BNL employees and guests are warmly invited to register for these sessions, the workshops and other events (fees are required).
