NVK Nederlandse Vereniging voor Kristallografie

AIO-School Kristal- & Struktuuronderzoek 2007

From October 22-26, 2007 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:

Diffraction: a versatile tool in science

Direction: Dr. S. Harkema, (UT)
Organisation: Dr. R. Peschar (UvA)
E-mail: R.Peschar@Uva.nl or rene@science.uva.nl
Local contact: Dr. R. Peschar (UVA)
Location: Universiteit van Amsterdam
Nieuwe Achtergracht 166M
1018 WV AMsterdam
Room: Zaal B2.28
Language: English
Time: Monday October 22 until Friday October November 26
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, Biology, Pharmocology or Crystallography. The purpose is to achieve 'working' knowledge of diffraction analysis of various types of crystalline material and their use in the above-mentioned fields.

Fee

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

For information and application, contact Dr. R. Peschar: R.Peschar@Uva.nl
