HERCULES 2018 - European School
28 Years of Neutron & Synchrotron Radiation Science
2018 session: 25 February-30 March, 2018
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: 25 October 2017
HERCULES is a European course for PhD students and young researchers using
Neutrons and Synchrotron Radiation for applications in Biology, Chemistry,
Physics, Hard & Soft Condensed Matter.
The 1-month school includes lectures (60%), hands-on practicals and tutorials
at partner institutes (Elettra and FERMI in Trieste, Italy; ESRF, ILL in
Grenoble; Soleil and LLB in Paris-Saclay; PSI in Villigen, Switzerland) and
Grenoble Laboratories (CEA, CNRS, EMBL, IBS). (*)
(*) also, participation of DESY and the European XFEL to be confirmed for 2018
due to scheduled down-time.
The school includes a common part and two parallel sessions:
- Biomolecular, soft condensed matter structure & dynamics
- Physics and chemistry of condensed matter
Why join Hercules ?
- to learn new techniques using neutron and synchrotron radiation
- to expand your theoretical and practical knowledge, not only for your present
research but for your scientific career
- to experiment these techniques on world-class instruments & beamlines
- to build a network of relations with fellow young researchers and experienced
teachers from all around the World
Bursaries/reduced costs
- A limited number of bursaries will be available either to reduce registration
fees or cover travel costs.
