The annual AINSE Winter School offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for senior undergraduate students to discover the potential for further research in nuclear science and related technologies. In the online week of the event (July), students can meet and engage with future research collaborators, gain deep insight into ANSTO’s landmark research facilities, and network with other like-minded students from all across Australia and New Zealand.

Online participants can apply for a further opportunity to explore world-class ANSTO research facilities in person, after the online event. In-person visits will take place at ANSTO’s Lucas Heights campus (Sydney) throughout September.

AINSE Ltd. offers scholarships to each of its member universities to enable a nominated student to participate in the annual Winter School held at ANSTO’s Sydney Campus each July.

The scholarship is open to all senior undergraduate students interested in learning about the techniques of nuclear analysis. Such techniques have applications across a wide range of disciplines, including archaeology, biology, chemistry, engineering, geology, materials science, medicine, nanotechnology, and physics.

The AINSE Winter School provides an ideal opportunity for students in their final year of undergraduate STEM studies to explore options for future research projects and meet potential collaborators. Throughout the week, students attend a mix of lectures, social programs, and experiments relating to:

• Neutron Scattering (using neutron beamlines on the OPAL Multipurpose Reactor);
• X-Ray and IR Scattering (using beamlines on the Australian Synchrotron);
• Ion Beam Analysis (using ANSTO’s suite of linear accelerators);
• Environmental studies using natural radioactivity (including sedimentation rates and erosion, geomorphology, and climate change);
• Nuclear techniques in soil and groundwater studies (including nuclear probes for metals in soils, radioactive tracers in flow studies, and pollution tracking); and
• Nuclear techniques in Materials Science.

A virtual tour of other major ANSTO facilities is also included in the program, alongside an online Research Roundup networking event for students to discuss future research opportunities working alongside ANSTO researchers.

For more information, please contact your University Member Representative or AINSE administration .

Apply now by submitting your Expression of Interest form through the AINSE Grants Platform. Expressions of interest close 11.59 pm AEST Wednesday 15th May 2024.
