The International School on XFEL: Science and Instrumentation is organized in close collaboration between Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (Kaliningrad, Russia), Gdańsk University of Technology (Gdańsk, Poland), European XFEL (Schenefeld, Germany) and National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute” (Moscow, Russia).

European XFEL is a novel scientific tool with parameters exceeding those in already existed facilities. Being a next-generation X-ray source, XFEL is intended to face the actual challenges both in fundamental science and applications. Two-days school (seminar) in Gdansk is organized to illuminate the XFEL physics and provided methods, elucidate their potential for research, and pave the way for young scientists and introduce them to XFEL community.

The school will cover the basics of XFEL physics and instrumentation, specific topics, such as ptychography and X-ray optics for FEL’s, and give insight into possibilities for crystallography, ultrafast phenomena, magnetism, and biology. The world level scientists from the USA, Japan, Germany and etc. will share their experience and acquired knowledge.

All participants are welcome to submit the abstract for the Poster Session. For more details please see the Registration info.

The school timetable can be found here.

The school participants are welcome to make a brief presentation about their poster on October 11, at 17:05 (before the poster session).

The guidelines for these talks are as follows:
– The presentation lenght should not exceed 2 minutes (no questions);
– The presentation should include maximum 2 slides and have a PDF format;
– The slides should contain a footer or header stating your name and title of your poster.
