Centralsync School in Matrafured

Sep 24, 2012, 9:00 AM → Sep 26, 2012, 12:00 PM Europe/Budapest

Conference room (Mátrafüred Academic Resort)

Consortium CENTRALSYNC invites you to the School on Synchrotron Radiation Methods and their Applications in Earth Science 2012. The School will consist of tutorial lectures given by experts in synchrotron radiation methods and earth science. Starting from basic properties of synchrotron radiation and related experimental techniques, recent earth science related applications and possibilities will be discussed. Information on application for beamtime and practical arrangement of experiments will also be provided. The language of the school is English. The school is intended for young research fellows, PhD and MSc students as well as for senior researchers who are interested in acquiring new ideas about unique experiments.
