SAVE THE DATE
August 21st - 25th, 2022
Buenos Aires - ARGENTINA
ICNS 2022 will be the 12th conference in a series held every four years starting in 1982, including most recently ICNS 2009 in Knoxville, USA, ICNS 2013 in Edinburgh, UK, and ICNS 2017 in Daejeon, Korea.
The ICNS 2022 will be the largest international platform for sharing and exchanging the latest exciting advances in neutron scattering science, including a broad range of topics.
COVID-19 WARNINGS
We understand that life is uncertain right now due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we hope that everything could go back to some kind of normality next year, and we are planning accordingly. While we remain optimistic that an in-person ICNS 2022 will take place, a preparation for some degree of virtuality is also under consideration. Depending on the evolution of the worldwide situation, we may have to make critical decisions in the next few months, which may have implications on the format of ICNS 2022.

ICNS 2022 STATEMENTS
On Ukraine Conflict
"The ICNS2022 is committed to continue advancing the equal participation and collaboration between scientists in all countries in its activities and the principle of the free and responsible practice of science."
On Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
"Our goal is to create an inclusive, respectful conference environment that invites participation from people of all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, abilities, religions, and sexual orientations. We're actively seeking to increase the diversity of our attendees, speakers, and sponsors through our calls for abstracts, other open submission processes, and through dialogue with the larger community. We value diversity in the communities we bring together. We strive to provide balanced representation of the richness of our collective human experience, and welcome your contributions to helping us achieve that goal."
VENUE
CITY OF BUENOS AIRES
Buenos Aires will receive soon a large community of scientists devoted to many disciplines related with the main topics of the International Conference on Neutron Scattering 2022. Those of you attending in person will certainly enjoy a superb conference together with the opportunity of visiting a very cosmopolitan city like Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires is one of the largest cities in South America, limited only by the Rio de La Plata and many autonomous neighboring cities, in a conglomerate that extends far beyond the horizon until reaching the plains of the Argentinian pampas.
Such a geography of almost no natural limits has intertwined with the many cultures, both native and those continuously migrating to our lands, imprinting the feeling of a world without limits, both geographic and culturally. Cosmopolitism and no segregation are the main characteristics of this city.
Different waves of migration provide a colorful palette to the architecture, meals and faces of our people. You may feel sometimes like at home or on the other side of the world, independently on where you are coming from. Walking and running are preferred exercise alternatives for locals. Visit the parks, museums and Rio de la Plata natural reserves and islands; they are a must.
Do not miss the opportunity of enjoying a caffe with “medialunas” (small croissants) on the bars in downtown, or in any neighbor, while having a nice conversation with colleagues and friends. Nights are for dinners tasting international cuisine or Argentinian BBQ (asado) and beef on the many “parrillas” spreaded around the city. Those fond of good wines be aware that
Argentina, combining latitudes spanning more than 20o from south to north with altitudes starting at the sea level until 4000 m, is one of the largest wine basins in the world.
For those expending some more time in our country a plethora of adventures are open beyond the limits of the city. Pampas, mountains, small sierras, glaciers, waterfalls, deserts and wet forests are available, although the size of the country, the eighth in extension in the world, requires a careful planning in advance.
Enjoy the city and friendly people. That is an extra opportunity while coming for serious business.
The Conference Venue – SAVOY HOTEL
Savoy Hotel is one the most emblematic hotels in downtown Buenos Aires, perfectly capturing the historic grandeur and contemporary energy of this bustling, cosmopolitan city. A landmark of neo-baroque architecture and style, our hotel welcomed its first guests in 1910 and has set the standard for gracious service and personalized hospitality ever since. Today, our meticulously refurbished hotel stands as the destination of choice for discerning business and leisure travelers who seek the perfect balance of timeless elegance and modern sophistication in one of Buenos Aires’s most enviable locations.

THE ARGENTINIAN NEW RESEARCH REACTOR (RA-10)
The RA-10 is a new multipurpose research reactor that is under construction in Argentina. With a power of 30 MW (thermal) it was designed to achieve a high-performance neutron production to fulfil the stakeholder’s requirements, in compliance with stringent safety regulations.
The principal objectives of the facility are to consolidate and increase the radioisotope production to cover future demands, to provide fuel and material testing irradiation facilities to support national technology development in this field, and to offer new applications in the field of science and technology based on modern neutron techniques.
The project is supported by the National Administration and is conducted by the National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA).
The construction stage begun in 2016. Previously, the construction license and the environmental aptitude certificate were obtained, and a social perception study was performed. The first concrete was poured on May 6, 2017. The global advance of the project is 70%. The reactor is planned to be commissioned in 2024.
