    There is undoubtedly a lot of progress in the field of polarized neutrons. In particular, numerous worldwide developments can be witnessed in high-throughput areas like reflectometry and SANS. While the present leadership for polarized neutrons is certainly European, both the US and Japan are devoting a lot of effort to these techniques.

    To preserve its leadership, Europe should enlarge the community working in this field. Indeed, polarized neutrons have often the reputation of being intrinsically difficult to use. It is certainly true that the know-how is mainly in the hands of specialists, working in neutron centers. It will be therefore of prime interest to all neutron centers to make polarized neutrons more popular with the wider scientific community. The demystification of polarized neutrons is exactly the aim of the school 'Polarized Neutrons for Material and Life Sciences' we are organizing.

    This school will be held in Anglet, in the southwest of France, on the ocean coast, from the 4th to the 7th of June 2005. It is intended for students (PHD, post-doc), young researchers and university teachers. Polarized neutrons will not be presented as a means in itself but as a powerful tool to answer a wide range of interesting scientific questions. The theoretical concepts will be put into a practical context, i.e. the student will be really taught how to prepare, run and analyze an experiment in order to obtain an answer to scientific questions.

We hope to be able to attract both researchers already working with neutrons in the fields of materials and life sciences but unfamiliar with polarized neutrons as well as young scientists from completely different horizons, to reinforce a community at a time where the field is progressing rapidly. Grants will be available on request for young students.

Please notice that in constrast to previous years, this school is not a purely french event, but an EUROPEAN school. The official language will therefore be english.
