8th ILL Annual School on Neutron Diffraction Data Treatment using the FULLPROF suite
2015-12-14 - 2015-12-18 | Institut Laue-Langevin, 71 avenue des Martyrs, Grenoble, France
FPSchool aims to contribute to the training of scientists in treatment of X-ray and neutron diffraction data.
The school is based on intensive hands-on sessions using the computer programs of the FullProf Suite. The lectures and tutorials will provide the essential tools necessary for an efficient use of the FullProf Suite at an intermediate level. In addition to general applications, Rietveld method, multipattern analysis, microstructure determination and refinement will be given particular attention.

Asian Crystallographic Association Meeting
2015-12-05 - 2015-12-08 | Science City, J.B.S Haldane Avenue, Kolkata, India
We cordially invite you to attend the 2015 Asian Crystallographic Association Meeting (AsCA 2015), to be held at Science City, Kolkata (the earlier name, Calcutta), a city famous for its intellectual and cultural pursuits. The meeting will cover diverse aspects of crystallographic research ranging from life sciences, drug development, crystal engineering to theory, instrumentation, synchrotron and neutron studies. It would be held for three and half days, during December 5-8 (Sat – Tuesday). The weather is usually mild and sunny during this time of the year, and we would endeavor to make your stay a memorable one.

Introduction to the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)
2015-10-04 - 2015-10-06 | Institut für Anorganische und Analytische Chemie, Goethe-Universität, Max von Laue Str. 7, Frankfurt/Main, Germany
The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and its accompanying software for search and analysis (ConQuest, Mercury, IsoStar and Mogul) – together known as the CSD System (CSDS) – is a fundamental resource in structural chemistry, finding applications in academia and in industry across a broad range of topics such as drug design and discovery, drug development and formulation, and materials science.
The workshop will provide information about the CSD itself, its content and its production. The CSDS software will be described, and a number of hands-on examples of the use of the CSDS to address real problems of both industrial and academic importance will be followed.

MATRAC Summer School 'Application of Neutrons and Synchrotron Radiation in Engineering Materials Science
2015-09-21 - 2015-09-25 | Haus am Schüberg Conference Centre, Wulfsdorfer Weg 33, Ammersbek, Germany
We take pleasure in informing you that registration is now open for our MATRAC Summer School ‘Application of Neutrons and Synchrotron Radiation in Engineering Materials Science’ to be held in Hamburg/Ammersbek, Germany, from September 21 to 25, 2015 in cooperation with the Röntgen-Ångström-Cluster and the Virtual Institute of the Helmholtz Association ‘New X-ray Analytic Methods in Material Science’ (VI-NXMM). The school will provide a systematic overview of the application of neutrons and synchrotron radiation to the structural analysis in applied materials. All relevant experimental methods will be covered in a three-day course which will be followed by a two-day practical. The practical at GEMS/DESY in Hamburg will cover various diffractometers, SAXS instruments and tomography stations. Neutron data analysis will also be practised. Registration deadline is June 24, 2015. For more information please visit our website http://www.hzg.de/matrac
