This workshop is well suited for M.Sc. and Ph.D. students who wish to learn more of x-ray spectroscopies applied in materials research and nanosciences. Fields of study that benefit from the methods are for example inorganic chemistry, catalysis, electrochemistry, materials physics, radiochemistry, geosciences, biochemistry and biophysics, and cultural heritage.
The programme will start 9:00 am on Thursday 24th and ends at lunchtime on Friday the 25th November.
Registration is now closed. We have over 80 registered participants! Thank you for your interest!
The programme will include oral presentations, lab tours, poster session with refreshments, and presentation of our commercial partners.
