Registration
Register here. If you do not have a BNL Indico user account, you will be asked to complete one during the registration process.
Please note:
a) Non-U.S. nationals need to additionally complete the GIS registration form no later than 35 days before the meeting start date. This form needs to be approved to attend Nuclear Data Week. Contact Gustavo Nobre if you have questions about GIS registration.
b) USNDP attendance is limited to members and invited participants.
c) Attendance to the NCSP-NDAG meeting is limited to current members only.
Session Managers
The managers of each session are responsible for adding and ordering contributions (see Manager's help). Once a contribution has been added and approved by the manager, the presenter may submit (or "Add Material" to) her talk at any time from the "My Contributions" menu item.
Submitting contributions
Participants must upload their contributions to the Indico system before their presentation. The preferred format is PDF. PowerPoint presentations are acceptable. (Note that you may upload additional files, e.g. data, documents, plots, etc. in support of the actual presentation.)
Please note that non-U.S. nationals need to complete the GIS registration form no later than 35 days before the meetings. Contact Gustavo Nobre if you have questions about GIS registration.
