An educational workshop is being held to train investigators and educators in the use of BEAMnrc and related codes. The course includes lectures and hands-on laboratories.


The measurement course on Photometry, Radiometry and Colorimetry is one of an ongoing series of courses presented by the Institute for National Measurement Standards (INMS) concerning the measurement of basic physical quantities, where recent developments in instrumentation, standards and procedures are addressed. The course is designed for scientists and technicians concerned with accurate and precise measurement of photometric, radiometric and colorimetric properties, whether in research, development, or manufacturing applications.


As friction stir welding and related technologies continue to grow in industries around the world at a rapid pace, opportunities to catch up with developments in research and industry are vital in order to stay fully informed. Access to such information is vital to any organisation wishing to get the most from this technology.


Each year, NRC-IRC presents a national seminar to provide construction professionals with practical information. Each seminar focuses on a single topic and reports the results of NRC-IRC research, as well as information from other organizations in North America and abroad.

Metallic foams are relatively new materials that offer opportunities in a wide range of applications. They can be used to manufacture lightweight structures, filters, heat exchangers, sound absorbers, mechanical damping devices, electrodes, charge carriers, sensors, catalyst supports and biomedical implants to name a few. The interest in these materials has risen during the last few years and new materials as well as applications are created every year.
