Rutherford Appleton Laboratory will be hosting the November 2023 AION days at The Cosener’s House in Abingdon. Like previous AION days, the meeting will be split over three days: 14 Nov – 16 Nov. Day 1 arrival at lunch time and presentations in the afternoon, day 2 a full day meeting and collaboration dinner at The Cosener’s House in the evening. Day 3 will run until lunchtime with an option, for those who wish, to visit in the afternoon the RAL Sr Lab at Harwell Campus. Apart from the main meeting venue, the “Garden Room”, we will have a separate meeting room available to allow breakout sessions.
