2025 HERCULES European School

This one month course, coordinated by the Université Grenoble Alpes, is designed to provide training for students, postdoctoral and senior scientists from European and non-European universities and laboratories, in the field of Neutron and Synchrotron Radiation for condensed matter studies (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Geosciences, Industrial applications). Neutron and X-ray science is integrated with complementary techniques like (but not only) optical and electron microscopy, NMR, optical and THz spectroscopy. It includes lectures, practicals and tutorials, visits of Large Facilities and a poster session. The language of the course is English.
The course is held in Grenoble at the Polygone Scientifique Louis Néel. This is close to partner institutions where practicals and tutorials will take place (EMBL, ESRF, IBS, ILL, CEA, CNRS).

The school includes a common part and two parallel sessions:
– Biomolecular, soft condensed matter structure & dynamics
– Physics and chemistry of condensed matter

Giorgio Schiro (IBS/DYNAMOP) is deputy director of the HERCULES school for the biology session and many IBS scientists (A. Ballandras-Colas, M. Blackledge, D. Bourgeois, E. De Zitter, G. Schiro, M. Spano, M. Weik, G. Zaccaï) give lectures and tutorials.

For details, please have a look on the website of the course.
The application to HERCULES 2025 will close on 06th October 2024.
