supporting standard sample? Difficult

• Find samples that look like what we normally measure (Sylvain) - need to have something that is of the same geometry and setup as normal samples.
• Discussion of different samples : AJJ suggested block copolymers
• Membrane samples from Brian Pauw
  • Anna S : was difficult for standard due to orientation requirements
  • Wim B : worked well for SESANS

Outreach / Dissemination hackathon/working group

• Sample environment get together online (Katie W)
• Topical group : reduction (Anna) : should it be a working group?

Discussion of future meetings ...

• regular canSAS before SAS?
• small working group meetings?

PLAN :

• working group meetings
• online discussion in year
• general canSAS meeting in 2026 or early 2027

• Sylvain suggests that a topical discusssion at RALSAS in ~ 4 months would be a good way to engage a broader community and students. Where? RAL. Rob Dalgliesh and Rob Rambo organising?
