Program
In selecting the lecturers care has been taken to include both very experienced and promising younger scientists. The attendees of the seminar, mainly PhD students and postdocs, are expected to contribute to the scientific discussion by presenting their work in a short 3 minute presentation and by contributing a poster to one of the thematic poster sessions.
Dissemination of the results of the seminar will be by a short article in the journal “Physik Journal”. In addition publishing selected contributions of the seminar in a feature issue of a journal with an interdisciplinary scope such as “Journal of Applied Crystallography” or “Journal of Synchrotron Radiation” is envisaged and will be discussed with the invited lecturers and the respective editorial boards.
