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 […]

FASEM school 2026
The FASEM is a recurring biennial advanced-school, rotating across three key thematic areas: Scattering Techniques for Environment & Materials, Life Sciences, and Energy Applications. Its goals are to prepare the future generation of users of large-scale facilities for synchrotron and neutron scattering; develop and strengthen sustainable scientific exchanges between the French and Swedish communities on […]
Hercules European School 2026
The Hercules school goes into its next installation from 22 February to 29 March 2026, offering participating PhD students and Postdocs the possiblity to build a broad understanding of different scattering methods in an international environment with participants and teachers from all aroud the world. In addition to lectures, this school is especially valuable since it […]
ESS/MAX IV/SciLifeLab Summit 2025
How can and should we use the massive amounts of data generated by ESS, MAX IV and SciLifeLab, and how can AI help manage it? These questions are the focus of this year’s summit in Lund on 3 October 2025. Many interesting contributions will show different perspectives about these and related topics on the 3rd October. […]
