ISPF-020, Enabling ISIS Collaboration with Brazil 2023/2024 & 2024/2025
Project disclaimer
Description
The developing of Brazilian use of ISIS is a programme that will enhance the relationship between Brazil and the UK by increasing the number of proposals to ISIS from Brazilian researchers. Currently averaging 2 proposals per year from Brazil to ISIS, we hope to support around 20 completed experiments through the programme and at least 3 extended stays at ISIS by Brazilian researchers and to have 30 Brazilian researchers trained in neutron/muon techniques. The funding will be spent via activities such as: • Calls for proposals for Brazilian researchers to access ISIS • Experiments at ISIS by Brazilian researchers including beam fee costs, and travel and subsistence for Brazilian researchers to come to the facility for experiments • Sabbaticals / 'mini-sabbaticals' at ISIS by Brazilian researchers • In-person workshops and meetings in Brazil • Neutron/muon training school in Brazil • Engagement with Brazilian funding organisations • Support for Brazilian researchers to engage in dissemination activities related to their ISIS experiments once back in Brazil.
Objectives
Through this ISPF programme, we aim to collaborate with FAPESP, other Brazilian research funders and the Brazilian research community to help establish a strong neutron user community in Brazil. Our focus is on promoting knowledge-sharing initiatives such as workshops, training programs and experiments conducted at the STFC’s ISIS Neutron & Muon Source. The ultimate goal is to create a robust knowledge base within Brazil, a sustained long-term relationship between ISIS, and Brazilian researchers and funders, and build a cohesive community that can effectively harness the forthcoming neutron reactor source (currently in development in Brazil), resulting in mutual benefits of advanced research, international exposure, and societal impact.
