Following the successful experience of the past editions, 20 students will be admitted to the laboratory and spend a week interacting closely with their teachers. The program includes lectures and practicals providing an in-depth learning on the techniques and the exciting science carried out at the synchrotron ring Elettra and the free electron laser FERMI.
Scope
HERCULES aims at delivering the highest level of training for students, postdoctoral researchers, and scientists using neutron and synchrotron radiation in varied disciplines, spanning from chemistry, physics and materials science to biology and geoscience.
Lectures are given by world leading experts and are complemented by practicals and tutorials. Synchrotron and FEL methods and instrumentation are taught as main topics. Participants can also attend specialized sessions focusing on:
A. Physics and chemistry of condensed matter.
B. Biomolecular and soft condensed matter.
HERCULES provides its attendees with the opportunity to visit also one of the following large European facilities outside Grenoble: ALBA in Barcelona, Elettra and FERMI in Trieste, Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Villigen, DESY synchrotron and European XFEL in Hamburg, KIT Light Source in Karlsruhe, and SOLEIL synchrotron in Paris
