ECNS-2007, the 4th European Conference on Neutron Scattering, will be held in Lund, Sweden from 25th to 29th June 2007. This meeting is organised on behalf of the European Neutron Scattering Association (ENSA) by: Danish Neutron Scattering Society, Norwegian Neutron Scattering Association, Swedish Neutron Scattering Society and Lund University.

Neutron scattering brings together many scientific disciplines. Traditional areas of application have broadened and strong activity is now seen in diverse fields such as biology, nanoscience, environmental science and engineering.

ECNS-2007 continues the successful series of meetings that have been held in:

• Interlaken 1996
• Budapest 1999
• Montpellier 2003

In the tradition of these conferences all aspects of the technique and the application of neutron scattering will be discussed. Themes to be covered include:

• Advanced Neutron Sources
• Neutron Instrumentation and Techniques
• Neutron optics and Fundamental physics
• Crystallography, Spectroscopy and Excitations
• Magnetism and Superconductivity
• Earth Sciences
• Thin Films and Interfaces
• Glasses and Liquids
• Soft Condensed Matter – Colloids and Polymers
• Life Sciences
• Archaeology and Heritage
• Industrial and Medical Science Applications e.g. Radiography, Process Studies and Strain

The conference is planned for broad participation: users of neutron techniques and developers of neutron instruments and facilities will both be strongly represented. Potential and new users of neutrons can learn about techniques and facilities while established users can hear about new applications.
