MATRAC school 2026

The MATRAC School series provides an introduction to the fundamental principles and experimental techniques used in the analysis of advanced engineering materials through neutron (MATRAC 2) and synchrotron radiation (MATRAC 1). The two types of radiation share common characteristics, many of the experimental methods are similar and their results are analysed based on the same theories.
The school emphasizes fundamental understanding, hands-on experimental training, and data analysis. Students will gain practical experience with instrumentation and measurement techniques during experiments conducted at the MLZ in Garching near Munich

The 2026 school will take place in Munich from 1-6 March 2026. Applications are now open until 21 November 2026.
