HERCULES EUROPEAN SCHOOL is a five weeks course coordinated by the Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA). The school provides training for students, postdoctoral and senior scientists from European and non-European universities and laboratories, in the field of Neutrons, X-ray Synchrotron Radiation, and Free Electron Laser for condensed matter studies (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Geosciences, Industrial applications). Neutron and X-ray science is integrated with complementary techniques like (but not only) optical and electron microscopy, NMR, optical spectroscopy.It includes lectures, practicals, tutorials, and visits of Large Scale Facilities: ALBA in Barcelona, Elettra and FERMI in Trieste, ESRF and ILL in Grenoble, KIT in Karlsruhe, MAX IV and ESS in Lund, Petra III and European XFEL in Hamburg, PSI in Villigen, and SOLEIL in Paris-Saclay.
The school is divided in two parts:
PART I: basic methods and instruments: this part is common for all the participants and lasts ~ 1.5 week
PART II is divided into two parallel specialised sessions of ~ 3.5 weeks:
Session A: physics and chemistry of condensed matter
Session B: biomolecular and soft condensed matter
The school includes lectures, visits of Large Scale Facilities, practicals, labs, and tutorials. A poster session is organised, where each participant puts up a poster presenting her/his thesis or research topic for a half-day.
Applications can be registered on the HERCULES website.
