This Advanced Seminar will address a wide scientific community with the aim to identify the real scientific drivers requiring novel and extreme conditions and to determine how the neutron scattering techniques could contribute. Scientists not necessarily coming from the neutron scattering community will be brought together with engineers and instrument specialists. Scientists will present the needs and raise questions to be addressed by the instrument specialists and engineers. From these discussions, we hope that novel and extreme sample environment equipment and instruments will be discussed so that new scientific areas will later benefit from neutron scattering techniques.

The Advanced seminar on “Perspectives for Neutron Science in Novel and Extreme Conditions will provide an overall vision of the current state of the art of the following areas:

• High Pressure
• High magnetic and Electric fields
• Soft matter equipment
• Low temperature
• High temperature
