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.

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 ACA Meeting is an annual event providing scientists from a wide variety of backgrounds the opportunity to exchange cutting edge ideas and techniques in multiple areas of research. Each meeting highlights various aspects of crystallography and demonstrates their significance to the greater scientific community. Vendors display the latest technology at the exhibit show. Save the dates and join us!

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.

This workshop is intended to be an introduction to X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy principles and techniques for crystallographers with tutorials and hand-on-training session on data analysis. The talks will be delivered by experienced XAFS professionals from all over the world and will include basic principles of the technique, basic and advanced data analysis techniques and examples of application of XAFS technique in several cutting-edge research areas of physical science, material and chemical sciences.

International Union of Crystallography | Commission on Mathematical and Theoretical Crystallography (IUCr)

A major effort of the IUCr Diffraction Data Deposition Working Group (2011 to 2017) and now the IUCr Committee on Data since 2017 has been exploring the practicalities, the costs and benefits, and the opportunities for new crystallographic science arising from large-capacity data archives that have become available. We think it timely to hold a full-day workshop aimed at: (1) discussing current practices in raw data archival and sharing, (2) educating those who generate and deal in crystallographic data on best practices in data reuse in various categories of crystallographic science by leading experts, (3) offering a summing up, including the role of IUCrData’s new Raw Data Letters. We expect attendees to learn about the opportunities for raw data reuse, including the use of raw data as test data sets for machine learning, and to achieve an understanding of how to effectively archive their own raw data to maximise the potential for data sharing and reuse in the future. This workshop will explore in detail the successes and challenges in practice of raw data sharing and reuse. Being a full day, it will complement the proposed microsymposium on "Raw diffraction data reuse: warts and all" in the Congress itself; most importantly the microsymposium will allow for the usual submission of up to four abstracts from anywhere in the world whereas the workshop is principally made up of invited speakers. Furthermore, the microsymposium will highlight the importance of databases. Of the workshop and the microsymposium the proposed keynote on the "European Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud" (by Andy Götz of ESRF) is the major highlight, making it the world leading effort of this consortium of more than ten European synchrotron and X-ray laser radiation sources with raw data management and sharing.

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

KTH Royal Institute of Technology

The 28th BIWIC – International Workshop on Industrial Crystallization will be, this year, hosted by KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, in-person, from August 30th to September 1st, 2023.

The workshop has become an important part of the conference calendar for crystallization groups worldwide. The aim is to gather interested parties from academia, industry, and research institutes to discuss their work and exchange knowledge towards overcoming challenges and advancing the knowledge frontiers in industrial crystallization. It is also a great opportunity to initiate (or expand) your connections with renowned scientists and industry leaders in the crystallization field in a friendly atmosphere.

The biannual TXRF conference is a forum for experts and users of TXRF and related techniques. The scope is to jointly present and discuss recent advances, latest research and new perspectives in different fields of TXRF from the fundamentals to the applications. As previous editions, the TXRF 2023 will bring together scientists, end-users and manufacturers, being an excellent platform for networking and exchange.

Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS), Forschungszentrum Jülich

The neutron landscape has undergone some changes in recent years after the closure of several research reactors in Europe. Therefore, making available state-of-the-art new high-performance neutron sources with an optimized range of instruments is one of the issues that is occupying the modern neutron scatterer community. For their construction there is now an increasing focus on alternative techniques to nuclear fission, such as pulsed sources and, among these, accelerator-driven, low-energy compact neutron sources are considered worldwide to be the next generation for a wide range of applications.

The JCNS Workshop 2023 will be dedicated to future instruments at pulsed sources and it will have the aim of discussing the last and new developments in instrumentation for such sources together with the new opportunities offered by complementary techniques and by industrial applications.
