The series of online lectures will take place from 6 – 10 October 2025. In addition to this, a small number of selected students that have completed the virtual module will be offered to take part in the practical component of this course that will take place in Hamburg from 17 – 21 November 2025. For the other students we will offer the possibility to collect data remotely. We encourage advanced PhD students, postdocs and junior researchers to apply. The virtual module lectures will cover the basics of SAXS/SANS, instrumentation, data collection, modelling techniques and complementary use with other methods. A self-paced practical tutorial accompanied with a SASQUEST challenge will be provided and all students are encourage to participate in these exercises. The material will cover basic and advanced SAXS data processing steps. In the on-site module, there will be 2 tracks offered focusing on different aspects of SAXS data collection. Applicants will be able to select a preferred track during motivation letter submission. Students that are not taking part in the on-site module will be able to sign-up for small online discussion groups. These discussion groups will be led by one of the course speakers/tutors and you will be given the chance to discuss your own data/SAXS experiments with your peers. 2025-10-06 09:00:00 UTC 2025-11-21 00:00:00 UTC [] [] [] workshops_and_courses [] [] -

CECAM/ALC/CCP9 Spectroscopy Masterclass https://web.cvent.com/event/ef626e0c-91a7-43f5-a861-e2e24fc44712/regProcessStep1 https://pan-training.eu/events/cecam-alc-ccp9-spectroscopy-masterclass We are pleased to announce a 5-day in-person “Spectroscopy Masterclass” in theoretical spectroscopy at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK, 1-5 September 2025. The school will teach the calculation of different spectroscopies including core (such as XAS, XMCD), valence band (ARPES) and magnetic excitations (as probed by INS) using first-principles electronic structure codes: SPR-KKR, MsSpec and Questaal. Lectures will provide an introduction to the theory as well as a high-level overview of the current state of the art in spectroscopy modelling. Afternoons will be dedicated to practical, hands-on teaching sessions designed for newcomers to electronic structure theory. The aim of the practical sessions is to enable experimentalists to carry out calculations independently. The final afternoon is dedicated to open discussion on how best to provide theory support at the large scale facilities. The event is funded as a CECAM Flagship School, with sponsorship from the Ada Lovelace Centre and the UK’s CCP9 network. There is a registration fee of £100 which covers accommodation. Lunch and the conference dinner are provided. 2025-09-01 09:00:00 UTC 2025-09-05 00:00:00 UTC [] [] [] workshops_and_courses [] [] -
TR+: Time-resolved methods for Life Sciences at MAX IV
24 - 26 September 2025
TR+: Time-resolved methods for Life Sciences at MAX IV https://indico.linxs.lu.se/event/588/ https://pan-training.eu/events/tr-time-resolved-methods-for-life-sciences-at-max-iv Registrations are now open for the TR+ workshop : “Time-resolved methods for Life Sciences at MAX IV” taking place in Lund on September 24-26. This workshop will focus on the practical considerations in performing time-resolved synchrotron studies to investigate dynamics on a variety of length scales and timescales in biomolecules using X-ray spectroscopy, scattering, serial crystallography, and combined methods. 2025-09-24 09:00:00 UTC 2025-09-26 00:00:00 UTC [] [] [] workshops_and_courses [] [] -

PhotonDiag2025 – The 7th FELs OF EUROPE Workshop on FEL Photon Diagnostics, Instrumentation, and Beamline Design https://indico.stfc.ac.uk/event/1424/ https://pan-training.eu/events/photondiag2025-the-7th-fels-of-europe-workshop-on-fel-photon-diagnostics-instrumentation-and-beamline-design The 7th FELs OF EUROPE Workshop on FEL Photon Diagnostics, Instrumentation, and Beamline Design will be held in Liverpool, United Kingdom, at the Liverpool University Guild of Students. The dates are Tuesday 2nd September to Thursday 4th September 2025. PhotonDiag 2025 will cover the following areas of photon delivery and measurement to science experiments on advanced, accelerator-based photon sources: Photon diagnostics – all techniques for measuring the spatial, spectral and temporal properties of photon beams. Includes diagnostics for science experiments, temporal synchronisation, and machine / beamline set-up and optimisation. Photon beamlines & optics – including beamline design, performance simulation, optics metrology, and alignment techniques. Detectors for all photon beam properties and all aspects of science experiments – including invasive and on-line measurements, one- and multi-dimensional detectors, and measurements at high repetition rates, Computation techniques for beamlines and diagnostics – including open-source software developments, machine learning, multi-parameter optimisation and data handling. 2025-09-20 09:00:00 UTC 2025-09-26 00:00:00 UTC [] [] [] workshops_and_courses [] []
