at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, Mülheim an der Ruhr
September 25 – 27, 2023
The Summer School is intended for graduate students, PhD students, and young scientists in geosciences, crystallography, solid-state research (chemistry, physics), and materials science. In the workshop, the fundamentals of a variety of advanced characterization techniques as well as their application area will be introduced. The scope of characterization techniques ranges from the exploration on the local scale over the surface to bulk analysis and will include spectroscopic, scattering as well as imaging techniques.
The participants are encouraged to present their work as posters or as 5 min lightning talks. Individual problems will be discussed. The language of the school will be English.
Deadline for registration July 31, 2023
