Aim of the meeting
The school aims to bring together experts of X-ray techniques and (graduate) students, postdocs as well as interested researchers. The topics revolve around three large areas: diffraction, spectroscopy and microscopy. All these topics will include basic introductory talks and novel applications in current research including the various subfields of physics, chemistry, materials and life sciences. There will also be a short introduction to synchrotron and XFEL sources. We mainly recommend the school to MSc and PhD students and post doctors, however senior scientists could also find value in attending. In order to facilitate the participation of young students, we waived the registration fee, and the first 70 registered participants will receive complimentary accommodation and lunch throughout the event. (This includes lunch on Wed, Thu, & Fri, and accomodation for the nights of Tue, Wed & Thu.)
At the end of the school, a certificate will be issued to those who successfully complete a short test. This option could be used to obtain a credit at the participant's home institution.
We will also provide an opportunity to present posters during the school.
The school is supported by the European XFEL, the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (via the Streamline project funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the INFRADEV grant agreement No 870313), and the Research Centre for Natural Sciences in Budapest.
The language of the school is English.
Relation to previous meetings
At the beginning of 90’s the Hungarian Academy of Sciences realized the importance of synchrotron based research and encouraged Hungarian scientists to use these sources. In order to coordinate activities connected to synchrotrons the Hungarian Synchrotron Committee was founded. The three most important tasks of the committee were: (i) establish connection with neighboring countries and join ESRF as a consortium, (ii) catalyze the Hungarian membership in the European X-ray Free Electron Laser, (iii) disseminate information about synchrotrons. To fulfill the last point the committee organized or took part in the organization of various schools: “Synchrotron School 2005” Budapest, “Synchrotron School 2008” Debrecen, “From the sealed tube to the X-ray Free electron lasers 2012” Mátrafüred, “Modern Light sources and their applications 2017” Szeged, “International Crystallographic School 2021” Budapest.
We would like to continue this series in 2023 with the organization of “Budapest School on Modern X-ray Science 2023”.
