1. Opening remarks by AONSA President Wen-Hsien Li
AONSA President W-H Li opened the meeting by thanking K-H Lee for his great effort inorganising this meeting. He also thanked past Presidents of AONSA, particularly theimmediate Past President Y Fujii, for their leadership and stewardship of AONSA since its
inception. He welcomed new members of the EC and Board, as well as new Observers, andinvited them to introduce themselves.
2. Approval of Agenda
The agenda of the 12th AONSA EC meeting was approved by the EC.
3. Report of the Minutes of the 11th AONSA EC Meeting in Dongguan
The minutes of the 11th AONSA EC meeting in Dongguan, which was circulated to the EC
members and observers through email previously, were distributed to all the EC participants
as hard copies at the meeting.
4. Report from the AONSA Office
The AONSA Office has undergone a significant change with the departure of Ms Yukino
Inoue. She will be replaced by Ms Chikako Doda from April 2014, following a 2-monthhandover period. All members of the EC and Board thanked Ms Inoue for her invaluable

5. Discussions and formal matters5.1. Formal matters
There were no formal matters discussed at this meeting.
5.2. Process matters
There were no process matters discussed at this meeting.
5.3. Financial matters5.3.1. Annual Fee and Budget Plan
The report as at 31/12/13 from the former Treasurer, S Chaplot, was presented (Appendix 1).
D Chen will provide a full report for the Minutes prior to the next EC meeting.
Action: D Chen to provide a full report on the Annual Fee and Budget Plan for the Minutes
prior to the next EC meeting.
55.3.2. AONSA Prize Fund and Budget Plan
The report as at 31/12/13 from the former Treasurer, S Chaplot, was presented (Appendix 1).
D Chen will provide a full report for the Minutes prior to the next EC meeting.
Action: D Chen to provide a full report on the AONSA Prize Fund and Budget Plan for the
Minutes prior to the next EC meeting.
5.4. AONSA Prize
5.4.1. Rules
S-M Choi presented a proposal to revise the Rules for AONSA Prize. This was discussed
during the meeting and the changes were accepted. Specifically, the number of members of
the Selection Committee was changed from 5 to 6 to reflect the fact that the number ofregular member societies of AONSA has increased from 5 to 6.
5.4.2. Selection Committee
S-M Choi put forward 6 nominations the Selection Committee, for approval by the EC(Appendix 2). All were approved. However, it was noted that all are researchers in the area of“hard condensed matter” except one (S-M Choi). The Chair (S-M Choi) would like to co-opt
another researcher in the area of “soft matter” if there is a nominee from that field. It wasnoted that an equivalent procedure could be followed if a nomination is made in, e.g.,
fundamental physics, according to the rules for the Prize. Co-opted members can be approvedby a circulating email among members of the EC.
5.4.3. Schedule
The schedule for the 3rd AONSA Prize was presented by S-M Choi (Appendix 3). In thediscussion in the EC, it was suggested that the deadline for the EC to complete reviews for all
nominees should be changed from 2014-08-15 to 2014-08-31, in order to allow more time forreview.
5.4. AONSA Neutron School
5.5.1. Report from the organizers of the 6th AONSA Neutron School
The 6th ANSA Neutron School will take place in Indonesia in October 2014. It will beorganized by Edy Giri Rachman Putra, who joined the EC meeting by Skype to make his
presentation (Appendix 4). He pointed out that the Agenda is only tentative at this stage.
6

The first day will overlap with the Materials Science and Technology meeting (organised by
BATAN), which is expected to have ~200 participants. The School and MST meetings will
become separate after lunch on the first day. An IYCr event will be held during this firstmorning session, rather than the reception. EC members pointed out that it should beclearly labeled as a joint AONSA-IYCr event, since we are funding it ($2000 extra on top of
normal $3000) and it will be AONSA’s main contribution to IYCr.
EC members pointed out that 1h15 is very long for the talks on the first day (IYCrcelebration), and suggested 3 speakers instead of 2. EC members will help the organisers
identify suitable speakers.
5.5.2. Dates for the 7th AONSA Neutron School
The 7th AONSA Neutron School will be held in Tokai, Japan, in October or November 2015,
with a preference for November. It will be organized by M Shibayama with support from JPARC.
5.6. Asia-Oceania Conference on Neutron Scattering (AOCNS)C Ling presented a report on preparations for the 2nd AOCNS in Australia in 2015,(Appendix 5).
5.7. ICNS2017 in Korea
KB Lee presented a report on preparations for ICNS2017 in Korea. The meeting will be cohosted by KAERI and KNBUA. The Chairs of the Organising Committee are SM Choi and
K-H Lee. The meeting will be held in either mid-July (which will be hot but more convenient
for North American and European delegates) or October (which will have better weather).
5.8. AONSA Newsletters and Homepage Design Update
H Seto presented a report (Appendix 6). The next newsletter is scheduled for April 2014, withdeadline for articles in mid-March. The first page of this issue will feature messages fromnew Board member. The issue will also contain announcements the upcoming AONSA
neutron school and ICANS, a call for nominations for the AONSA Prize, as well as reports
from meetings etc.
5.9. AONSA Visiting Fellows
S-M Choi presented the final draft of the rules for AONSA Visiting Fellows for approval.
The document was edited together in the EC meeting. Details of the changes, the discussion,
7

and the final updated version can be found in Appendix 7. Specific changes included a
reduction in the minimum time from 6 months to 3 months, in order to be less restrictive.
The process will start this year, with the Selection Committee to be approved by circulating
email.
Action: S-M Choi to collect nominations for the Selection Committee for the AONSA Visiting
Fellows and circulate it among EC member for approval.
5.10. Possible collaboration with ICSU and IUCr
W-H Li reported on the possibility of AONSA joining ICSU. It was noted that the next ICSU
deadline is the end of 2015, and that applications must be submitted by an international union,e.g., the IUCr.
Action: W-H Li to form a working group (tentatively composed of J White, Y Fujii, W-H Li, C
Ling an S-M Choi) to prepare a case to the IUCr.
S-M Choi made a presentation outlining possible IAEA financial support for AONSA
activities, specifically the AONSA Visiting Fellows program (Appendix 8). Unfortunately it
appears that the IAEA scheme does not fit well with the AONSA Fellow Scheme.
Action: S-M Choi to email Danas Ridikas at the IAEA to thank him for his efforts and to
explain that the IAEA scheme does not fit well with the AONSA Fellow Scheme. He will ask
for suggestions on how to best proceed.
5.11. 2014 International Year of Crystallography
Y Fujii reported on AONSA activities for IYCr. Most countries are doing something, and
AONSA EC members are involved in some cases: e.g., T Kanaya is leading the program inJapan. The EC agreed that AONSA can dedicate the first day of the AONSA School inIndonesia to a special celebration of IYCr. There is an idea to so something together withAOFSSR but it is not clear if this will happen or not.
H Chou reported that TWNSS plan to hold an international “AONSA Neutron Diffraction
Short School” (Appendix 9). They hope for 60 participants in total, with speakers to be
determined by TWNSS. Y Fujii pointed out that this School should not have AONSA in the8title, given that an AONSA School already exists. AONSA EC members can help locate
lecturers but AONSA can’t contribute financially. The organisers will need to follow therules for obtaining official recognition from AONSA, which were established at the last EC
meeting. It was suggested that the word “diffraction” in the title of the School should perhaps
be changed to “crystallography” if it is specifically dedicated to IYCr.

Report from the organizers of the 2nd AOCNS in Australia
ICNS-2015 will take place at the Novotel Manly Pacific, Sydney, from 19–23 July 2015.
The core organising committee has representatives of all three stakeholders:••••

A/Prof Chris Ling (Chair; University of Sydney, President of ANBUG)
Prof Michael James (Secretary; ANSTO)Dr Frank Bruhn (Managing Director of AINSE)
Prof Brendan Kennedy (University of Sydney, President of AINSE)

Program Committee: to be announced shortly (Chair will be Shane Kennedy, ANSTO).
Budget: still points to a (full, Early-bird) registration fee of ~$850 based on 450 delegates.
Competition: At this stage we are aware of SAS2015 (16-18 September), which could draw
SANS users who may not be able to attend two international conferences that year; and thefirst Gordon Conference on Neutron Scattering in Hong Kong in 2015 (June 21-26).
Promotion: The conference was promoted at ICNS 2013 and AsCA 2013. The next major
opportunity will be IUCr in August 2014. The conference website is live at http://aocns2015.com. The first newsletter has been distributed and the second is in preparation.

New AONSA Homepage
The new AONSA website is now active at http://aonsa.org. All of the content of the old web
page has been transferred into the content management system (CMS) for the new one, withthe exception of some large PDF files which remain on the original server (at J-PARC) but
are linked to from the new site.
The total cost of the update was AU$1848, including hosting of the site for 1 year. At the endof 2014 we will migrate the site to the J-PARC server so that this will not be a recurring cost.

Summary of Discussions
on AONSA Young Research Fellows•••

0. Primary purpose:

Survey through emails to FD
January, 2014
From the 7th FDM
February 20, 2014, Daejeon
From the 12th EC Meeting
February 21, 2014, Daejeon- Support highly talented young scientists in the region to conduct collaborative research using world class neutron facilities in the region. (but not in his/her home country)
1. Hosting Facilities and Number of Fellows- ANSTO, J-PARC, HANARO* JRR3 will join once it re-starts its operation- Total 3 fellows (at the beginning, 1 for each)* The number of Fellows will be determined every year.
2. Primary focus to start with:a. Fellows from all countries in the regionb. Fellows from outside of Japan, Korea and Australia/New Zealand* If we consider the primary purpose of VF, we will start with a.
(a is inclusive of b)* We will continue to try to find funding from agencies such IAEA and ICSU
which can be used for b exclusively.

3. Duration of visit: 3 – 12 months
While a 6 month minimum visit may be preferable to allow sufficient time for collabo
rative research, it may become a restrictive barrier for some applicants, especially w
ho belong to University. So, the 3 month minimum was selected.

4. Sharing of Financial Responsibility• AONSA supports round-trip airfares. (Total 5,000 USD per year)• Hosting facilities cover local living expenses.
• Sending institutes cover salary, medical insurance and so on.
The Fellows remain employed at the sending institutes.
* If the Fellows need additional funds for their research (for example, purchasing chemicals), it can be provided by hosting facility.
* This applies when funding from other organizations (such as IAEA) is not available.
* If other funding becomes available, the sharing of financial responsi
bilities should be re-arranged following the guidelines of the funding
sources.
22

5. Neutron Beamtime for Fellows• Application and selection should be done early enough so that successful applicants can write beamtime proposals through regular beamti
me proposal process.
- Applicants may submit a beamtime proposal before the selection process iscompleted.
• If the beamtime proposal is not successful,
the Fellows may participate in on-going project of hosting facility
or manager beamtime may be allocated.
• It is strongly recommended that applicant communicates with a future possible collaborator in hosting facility before he/she applies.
This will be implemented in the Application Form.
• In the Call for Applications, a contact person for each hosting facility
will be provided for more information about instruments available andrelevant person for further communications.

6. Advertisement• Through AONSA Network only (to avoid too many applications to handle)
Emails to AONSA Members and Observers
AONSA Newsletters

7. Applications• Pre-screening through home neutron society or community is required.
For this, one letter of support from President of home society or a representat
ive of home community needs to submitted.
8. How to balance the number of Fellows among hosting Facilities• Applicants will be asked to apply for two facilities with a priority.
(Pre-communications should be done for the 1st priority facility only)

9. What should be the name of the Program?
• AONSA Young Research Fellows
10. When to Start?
• Application and selection process: 2014
• Start of visit: 2015

c. The Fellowship consists of a certificate of Fellowship award, one round-trip airfare
between his/her home institute and the hosting facility, and local living expense at thehosting facility. The amount of support for local living expenses shall be determinedbased on the nominal cost of living and funding resources available. At least one staff
member shall be assigned by the hosting facility to the Fellow as a collaborator andmentor.
d. The financial responsibility for each Fellow shall be shared by AONSA, the hosting
facility, the home institute, and another funding agency (if available). When otherfunding resources are not available, AONSA shall provide one round-trip airfare, thehosting facility shall cover local living expenses, and the home institute shall provide
salary, insurance and other financial needs. When funding from another agency isavailable, the guidelines of that agency shall be followed.
24

e. Within 3 months of completing the Fellowship visit, each Fellow shall submit a reportto the AONSA Office and the hosting facility with a brief description of research
performed during his/her visit and other outcomes.

Subject: RE: IAEA TC Program / AONSA

Dear Prof. Sung-Min Choi,
Thanks for your message and proposal. Indeed, in consultation with Dr. In Cheol Lim we
have pre-designed in the subject TC project some activities related both to AONSA (school
and VF).
I've shared this proposal with the colleagues in TC responsible for project management lastDecember but so far I had no feedback. I will consult them again regarding the status and thedate when the project can start its implementation. I hope I can share more information by theend of January.
Dear In-Cheol,
For your information. Some safety related activities were also proposed by the RR Safetysection - this means that most probably we will need to consider both safety and utilization
components of the project and share the available budget.
Best regards and greetings from still quite warm Vienna,
Danas

Subject: IAEA TC Program / AONSA
Dear Danas,
Happy New Year 2014!
First of all, I'd like thank you for IAEA's continuing support for AONSA Neutron Schools.
I heard from Dr. In Cheol Lim, Director of HANARO, that a IAEA TC Program (Utilizationof Research Reactor including neutron beam applications, 2014-2015) is being prepared withthe funding from KAERI and Korean government. I also heard that the IAEA TC Program
may include some items which may support AONSA Activities including AONSA Visiting
Fellows.
This is GREAT news for neutron scattering communities in Asia-Oceania region and
AONSA!
Currently, we are working on a framework for AONSA Visiting Fellowship (VF) program
which support young scientists' Scientific Visits to Major Neutron Facilities in the AsiaOceania Region for an extended period of time.
As you may know, this is "Next Step" for AONSA program after the very successful AONSA
Neutron Schools that IAEA have supported. If the financial support from IAEA TC isavailable for the AONSA VF program, it will be great help for us to start the new program.
If available, could you please provide us the possible contents of IAEA TC Program in
relation with AONSA activities (including AONSA VF Program)? Also, if you need any
information or input from AONSA, please let us know as well.
Currently, I am in charge of preparing AONSA Visiting Fellowship program as VicePresident of AONSA. Would you mind if I share the possibility of IAEA TC Program (with28possible support for AONSA Visiting Fellows) with AONSA Board and Facility Directors sothat we can be prepared to collaborate with you?
We will have Facility Directors Meeting and AONSA Executive Committee Meeting on
February 20-21, 2014 in Daejeon, Korea and AONSA VF Program will be one of key agenda.
Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you.
