HERCULES EUROPEAN SCHOOL is a five weeks course coordinated by the Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA). The school provides training for students, postdoctoral and senior scientists from European and non-European universities and laboratories, in the field of Neutrons, X-ray Synchrotron Radiation, and Free Electron Laser for condensed matter studies (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Geosciences, Industrial applications). Neutron and X-ray science is integrated with complementary techniques like (but not only) optical and electron microscopy, NMR, optical and THz spectroscopy.

Courses and Events for Physics Students,    Neutron Scattering

The MATRAC 1 School will provide a systematic overview of the application of neutrons and synchrotron radiation to the structural analysis of engineering materials. Students and young scientists from research and industry from all of Europe interested in this field are welcome to participate. The focus of the practical training will be on synchrotron experiments.

Courses and Events for Physics Students,    Neutron Scattering

The purpose of this course is to train new or early users to design, plan, prepare, perform and analyze an x-ray absorption spectroscopy experiment at a synchrotron beamline.

HZB – Helmholz Zentrum Berlin

The program is aimed primarily at master students and other early stage researchers in physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, and life or environmental sciences. Students will be introduced to advanced synchrotron- and laboratory-based photon science methods that probe the physical, chemical, and electronic structures of materials as well as the function and dynamics of complex material systems. The basic and specialized lectures are given by experienced teachers who are HZB scientists or BESSY II super-users from our partner universities and research centers.

SAXS excites, the International SAXS Symposium 2023 and – new this year – the parallel Non-Ambient XRD Workshop, will not just give you insights into the diversity of SAXS and non-ambient X-ray diffraction, but it will also be a chance to reflect on current trends, foster discussions, and exchange ideas for the future. The goal of the symposium is to continuously expand the SAXS and the non-ambient XRD family. By doing so, we want to encourage interdisciplinary cooperation and the open exchange of views between renowned scientists, young researchers, and industry leaders.

Career, Leadership and Management,    Neutron Scattering

Since 2014, HTCC workshops have tackled the most fascinating achievements in both experimental methods and theoretical approaches, that have recently brought structural research to the forefront of natural sciences. We try to bring together leading experts in selected domains as lecturers, and motivated young(ish) scientists in crystallography or related fields as “students”, who may come from both academia and industry, and who are interested in acquiring new knowledge on cutting-edge methods in structural science and exploring ways to apply them in their ongoing research.

European Molecular Biology Organization – EMBO

Molecular Biology,    Photochemistry and Spectroscopy

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 14-19 May, 2023 the second LEAPS Conference aiming at bringing together the latest achievements from the Life Sciences user community with those from synchrotron radiation source development and instrumentation.

International Union of Microbeam Analysis Societies (IUMAS)

IUMAS was founded in 1994 to promote world-wide cooperation in all aspects of microbeam analysis through the organisation of an international congress on microbeam analysis every three to four years, and by participating in joint committee's with other scientific organisations in matters relevant to microbeam analysis which are better discussed on a world scale.

MAX IV, the pioneer in multi-bend achromat synchrotron technology, would like to invite the synchrotron and free electron laser (FEL) Life Science community to Lund to discuss the latest and hottest developments in the field at the 14th BSR. By 2022, several other synchrotron facilities will also have upgraded their sources or have defined upgrade plans and we feel it would be opportune to discuss an highlight the latest development and the possibilities for biological experiments at the next generation of synchrotrons and FELS.

HZB – Helmholz Zentrum Berlin

The school will be directed to undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and young scientists from different fields (biology, biochemistry, chemistry, material science, physics, etc. ) who are eager to learn more about the possibilities of crystallography. Fundamental lectures will be taught during the mornings. Afternoons will be dedicated to lectures on applications and hands-on tutorials.

Frascati National Laboratories, National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN - LNF)

High Precision X-ray Measurements 2023 conference is the third edition of the HPXM conferences, held at the INFN Laboratories of Frascati in 2018 and 2021. In the wake of the success of the 2018 and 2021 editions, HPXM2023 is planned with the twofold aim to consolidate the existing interconnections between the research teams and foster creating new ones, offering the opportunity for all the participants to discuss and share the results of their activities focusing on a common protagonist: X-ray precision detection. The scientific goal of this conference is to inform the participants on the most recent developments in X-ray detection technologies and their impacts in various sectors like nuclear physics, astrophysics, quantum physics, exotic atoms, medical physics, biology and agrifood.

The 18th International Summer School on Crystal Growth will be organised in Parma, the Italian Capital of Culture 2020-21, as an in-person event, after the change of date imposed by the pandemic emergency. The Campus of Science and Technology of Parma University has been chosen to host this event. A friendly and stimulating environment will facilitate discussions and new contacts between lecturers and participants.

As per tradition, the School is organized in conjunction with the International Conference on Crystal Growth and Epitaxy, which takes place in Naples in the following week.

Semiconductors,    Courses and Events for Physics Students

The International Conference on Crystal Growth and Epitaxy-ICCGE-20 will be the latest in a sequence that started with ICCG-1 in Boston, MA, USA in 1966, which marked the formation of the crystal growth community as an independent discipline rather than subsidiary to a number of other fields. The key principle is that the theory and practice of crystal growth is common across a range of materials and applications and that we have much to share with one another. It will provide sessions for presentation and discussion regarding recent research and development activities in all aspects of crystal growth, epitaxy, characterization and applications including both general sessions and special topical symposia.

Attendees to the World's largest X-ray conference have access to sessions on the latest advancements in XRD and XRF. Workshops are run by experts who provide training and education on many practical applications of X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction techniques for the study of materials. DXC provides a unique mixture of sessions on training, education, and applications, including state-of-the-art techniques and future developments in X-ray analysis.

In this meeting, we intend to bring together X-ray ptychography experts and users to discuss applications and future developments of X-ray ptychography.
