Student profile
Participants should already be familiar with both the fundamentals of crystallography and X-ray powder diffraction. The school is otherwise aimed at scientists from the very early to mature career levels, from master and PhD students to senior scientists, who need or plan or want to explore the possibilities of materials analysis by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction.
