Resumo

The International Small Angle Scattering conference (SAS) is a major event for the field, consistently attracting more than 400 attendees from around the world. The SAS meeting is the opportunity to highlight SAS contributions to biology, chemistry and materials science but as well to industry. Industrials are also widely participating to the SAS events promoting new and stronger interactions.Small-angle scattering emerged as a tool for studying noncrystalline structures from early observations around 1930 that there was a relationship between the extent of the scattering and the size of the scattering object. Professor André Guinier, the leading figure in the development of the field, noted during the first Conference on Small Angle Scattering in 1958 that the technique would be of value to study 'submicroscopical inhomogeneities' and further provided a means of 'observation [that had] in the past being restricted to the field of application of the X-ray method.' In 1965 the first of what became a highly successful series of Small-Angle Scattering (SAS) meetings held approximately every three years took place in Syracuse, NY, USA, and many of these ongoing meetings published their proceedings and highlights in the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) Journal of Applied Crystallography. These triennial meetings are a major event for the field, consistently attracting more than 400 attendees since the 2006 Kyoto meeting. It is the second time this international meeting will be held in Brazil, with the last venue in 1996 organised by the LNLS as well. These triennial meetings highlight SAS contributions to biology, chemistry and materials science. (AU)
