National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) will host the XIX edition of the International Small-Angle Scattering Conference (SAS2024).

LEAPS – the League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources

This year’s meeting theme is “Innovating Sustainability: Next Generation Energy and Quantum Devices and Their Characterization” and the goal of this mini symposium is to highlight the outstanding research coming out of the light sources. Recent rapid development and implementation of 4th generation synchrotron sources and free electron lasers opens further opportunities to study materials with highintensity, coherent X-ray beams. Development of new techniques, together with the improvement of more established approaches, allows unprecedented insight and holistic understanding of the structure, chemical environment, and electronic structure across a broad range of length scales from the atomic scale to macroscopic scales, over time scales from femtoseconds to minutes, hours and days in a variety of conditions from ultra-high vacuum to ambient pressure to high pressures. In this mini-symposium, we will highlight some recent scientific advances in characterizing energy conversion and storage materials, and quantum materials.

The main objectives of the “Crystallography and Large Facilities” thematic school are to acquire the theoretical foundations of crystallography, its methods, and the use of software to solve and refine crystal structures. At the Master 2 level, it is aimed at PhD students, post-docs, engineers, researchers, and current or potential users of large-scale facilities (synchrotron or neutron sources) who feel the need to “reconnect” with the fundamentals of crystallography and wish to obtain a state-of-the-art overview of the possibilities offered by different experimental methods. All fields of crystallography are covered. As in previous editions, in the 5-day course, the theoretical aspects will be complemented by tutorials, enabling students to get to grips with applications quickly and to link their training with their research work. The participation of teachers from SOLEIL, LLB and leading laboratories specializing in crystallography (IMPMC in Paris, LPS in Orsay, CRM2 in Nancy) is a guarantee of the quality of the courses.

The 9th edition of École Cristallographie et Grands Équipements (CGE) school will take place at the SOLEIL synchrotron site in Saint-Aubin from November 4th to 8th, 2024.

DESY in Hamburg (Germany)

The UFDIM conference at DESY in Hamburg (Germany) focuses on new techniques for imaging the dynamics of matter on ultrafast timescales, from femtoseconds to attoseconds. We have organized sessions on the applications of ultrafast dynamic imaging in biological, chemical and material systems as well as session on electronic dynamics and emerging opportunities. A special emphasis lies on the applications of new sources, including X-ray free-electron lasers, high-harmonic sources, few-cycle laser pulses, and ultrashort electron pulses. This conference is the seventh in a row after previous conferences held in London (2006), Ischia (2009), Banff (2012), Grindelwald (2015), Crete (2018), Potsdam (online only, 2021). The conference will host invited talks and contributed posters.

CIRM – Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques

The properties of heterogenous materials are governed by the arrangement of their nanoscale constituents. This is especially true for hierarchically organized biomaterials such as bone, tendon, wood but also for technical materials such as steel, concrete or ceramics. In particular, the understanding of orientations in 3D is a key factor to predict the physical properties of current materials, model their properties more faithfully and to propose ways to improve future materials for fields such as medicine, energy storage, composite structures or low carbon construction materials. The aim of this workshop is to assemble the communities of Material Scientists, Physicists and Mathematicians working on methods to determine orientation distributions on the nano- and crystal scale in 2D and 3D, and to stimulate a discussion on existing techniques, their computational limitations and ways to improve them, with a particular focus on their mathematical underpinnings.
