We invite you to participate in the course "EXAFS for beginners". The aim of the course is to give a comprehensive introduction for tentative EXAFS spectroscopy users at MAX-lab, and to introduce the basic concepts of EXAFS spectroscopy experiment design, theory and data analysis.
The course will be divided in three parts with the first and third meeting, February 10-12 and March 31 to April 3, at SLU in Uppsala, and the second meeting at the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund, March 3-7, see the preliminary schedule for more information.
The course is free of charge but is limited to 24 participants.
