NVK Nederlandse Vereniging voor Kristallografie

AIO-School Kristal- & Struktuuronderzoek 2006

From October 30 till November 3, 2006 an AIO-School will be organized under the auspices of the NVK (Nederlandse Vereniging voor Kristallografie) by order of the “CW-NWO Studiegroep Kristal- en Struktuuronderzoek”, entitled:

1 Symmetry of Molecule and Crystal structures
2 Electron microscopy

Direction: Dr. S. Harkema, (UT)
Organisation: Dr. R.B. Helmholdt, (UvA)
E-mail: rbh@science.uva.nl
Local contact: Dr. F.D. Tichelaar, (TUD)
Location: Natuurkunde gebouw
Lorentzweg 1
Delft
Room: On Monday and Tuesday room E05
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday F05
Language: English
Time: Monday October 30 until Friday November 3
This school is in the first place meant for AIO's, however, other interested people are also welcome.

Participants are expected to have a background in either Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, Mineralogy or Biology. The purpose is to achieve understanding and obtain experience with the tools of Symmetry and those of Electron Microscopy.

Fee

(The fee includes hand-outs, lunches, coffee/tea and the dinner on Wednesday).

For information and application, contact Dr. R.B. Helmholdt: rbh@science.uva.nl
