Dear Colleagues, We would like to remind you that the deadline for application to Ultrafast X-ray Summer School 2015 is approaching. UXSS 2015 will take place at DESY in Hamburg, Germany in the period from June 22, 2015 to June 25, 2015. UXSS 2015 is jointly organized by the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) at DESY and the PULSE institute at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The summer school program will be highly interdisciplinary, with topics ranging from accelerator physics to molecular biology. A list of speakers can be found at the end of this message.
http://conferences.cfel.de/uxss_2015/ Applications for participation in UXSS 2015 have been accepted. Please visit the above link and click on 'Application’. The application deadline is March 31, 2015. Please note that the number of summer school participants will be limited. In order to facilitate the selection of participants, we are asking applicants to provide a short text describing their educational and scientific background and their motivation for applying for participation in UXSS 2015. The applicants will be asked to pay a registration fee in the amount of 100 EUR. Accepted applicants will receive financial support for travel and local expenses, provided by the VolkswagenStiftung. Please forward this announcement to doctoral students and postdoctoral research associates who you think might be interested in participating in UXSS 2015.
