The RACIRI Summer School is a joint initiative by Russia, Sweden and Germany in the collaborative framework of the Röntgen-Angström-Cluster (RAC) and the Ioffe-Röntgen-Institute (IRI). The format of the RACIRI Summer School is driven by scientific frontier themes and challenges in the field of materials sciences with a strong connection to the superb analytical potential at current and future research infrastructures for photons, X-rays and neutrons in the Baltic Sea region (synchrotron-radiation and free-electron-laser facilities as well as research reactors and spallation sources). The RACIRI Summer School is held every year under a special focus theme. Its venue rotates annually among the three partnering countries.

FLS 2022 is hosted by the Paul Scherrer Institute.

In the spirit of the FLS workshop series, FLS 2022 will bring together worldwide scientists to exchange ideas and best practices about accelerator based light sources, their new development trends and related key technologies. The workshop program will consist of plenary talks and working group sessions. The working groups will include linac-based light sources, ring-based light sources, compact light sources and key technologies.

The Optical Society (OSA)

Emerging, compact extreme-ultraviolet and x-ray sources that exhibit high brightness and are small enough to be installed in laboratories at educational and research institutions, manufacturing facilities, hospitals, and other suitable sites, will revolutionize scientific and technical disciplines, complementing both existing and future large scale synchrotron radiation and free-electron laser sources. Applications span a wide range including biomedical, semiconductor manufacturing, fundamental and applied research, environmental engineering, industrial non-destructive testing and screening, and defense and security. The aim of the Compact EUV and X-ray Light Source meeting is to assemble experts in both source technologies and their applications to present and exchange ideas and improve community wide understanding of current and future source capabilities, and current and future application needs. At this meeting the latest results in the development of these sources will be presented as well as descriptions of efforts to mature the technology so that they meet the requirements needed in order to transition the technology to industrial and medical applications. Conference topics will include the latest development in source technologies and applications in the EUV through hard-ray regime.

High-Brightness Sources and Light-Driven Interactions

The Royal Society of Chemistry

This meeting is for established and early-career scientists, post-graduate students and industrial researchers interested in measuring, modelling and designing crystallisation processes. The unique format of the Faraday Discussions will allow for in-depth discussions of issues critical to the development of crystallisation research. The meeting will bring together communities of scientists studying nucleation in different contexts such as inorganics, organics, porous materials, and biological systems, offering opportunities to establish new collaborations.

Crystallisation, the spontaneous arrangement of molecular building blocks into ordered solid particles, is a fascinating phenomenon. Understanding the dynamic, molecular-scale processes that underlie crystal nucleation and growth holds the key to designing the production of specific crystalline materials. The ability to induce crystallisation how, when and where we want it is key to material synthesis. Such capabilities will transform industrial and environmental sectors, including healthcare, formulated products, oil and gas, water, mining and advanced materials.

After nearly 40 years, the SRI will return to Hamburg where the first meeting was held in 1982. At that time DORIS was the only operating synchrotron source in Hamburg. The metropolitan area now hosts three unique research facilities: the European XFEL, PETRA III and FLASH at DESY. These three facilities complement each other and open up new research opportunities for scientists and industrial users of the international synchrotron radiation and free-electron laser community. Hamburg is once again ideally suited to be the venue of the next SRI conference.

League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources (LEAPS)

LEAPS is the League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources, a strategic consortium initiated by the Directors of the Synchrotron Radiation and Free Electron Laser (FEL) user facilities in Europe. Its primary goal is to actively and constructively ensure and promote the quality and impact of the fundamental, applied and industrial research carried out at their respective facility to the greater benefit of European science and society. In this context LEAPS will organize in May 15 - 22, 2022 the first LEAPS Topical Conference aiming to bring together the latest achievements from the synchrotron radiation user community with those from source development and instrumentation. The focus of the first LEAPS Conference will be dedicated to the opportunities emerging from the Quantum Technologies R&D. This conference shall showcase where today and future synchrotron radiation contributes to the advancements of Quantum Technologies.

"LEAPS meets Quantum Technology"

The European Powder Diffraction Conference, EPDIC, is a biennial conference dedicated to all aspects of the analysis of polycrystalline materials by diffraction methods. Each EPDIC has the aim to highlight the latest developments in powder diffraction including methodology, data analysis and instrumental advances. EPDICs traditionally bring together the scientists from institutes, universities and instrumentation companies to discuss the progress in academic and industrial research related to powder diffraction.

We are very enthusiastic to present the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) as the new host of the XVIII International Small-Angle Scattering Conference, scheduled to take place in-person at the Royal Palm Plaza, in Campinas, between September 11 and 16, 2022. It is the second time that Brazil has been chosen to host the event, through the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) � the first time happened in 1996, shortly before Brazil�s first synchrotron light source come into operation.. In 2022, Brazil acquires new prominence in the field with the development of Sirius, one of the first fourth generation synchrotron light sources in the world. The XVIII International Small Angle Scattering Conference in 2022 will thus offer a timely opportunity to promote opportune and strong scientific interactions with worldwide researchers, expert in small-angle scattering. The brazilian edition will allow a greater participation of the brazilian cientific community, in continuous growth, strengthening the interaction between researchers and the industry.
