Symposium Sylinda

7 Mar 2024, 09:00 → 8 Mar 2024, 19:00 Europe/Warsaw

ZOOM platform

International Symposium SYLINDA

The SYLINDA International Symposium will be held in hybrid mode from 7th to 8th of March 2024. The speakers of the Symposium will be hosted by the SOLARIS National Synchrotron Radiation Centre, Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, while the participants will attend via Zoom. The objective of the Symposium is to gather internationally renowned specialists in X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) who will share their experience in using this analytical method for academic and industrial research. 
 

The SYLINDA symposium will feature presentations from leaders of scientific groups from world top universities and beamline scientists from synchrotron light sources around the globe using X-ray absorption spectroscopy in their everyday research. The state of the art, new experimental developments in applied research, current trends in data analysis, challenges and rewards as well as combined experience from academic and industrial research and successful collaborations are main topics to be covered at this event. 
 

Furthermore, posters from various groups performing experiments at SOLARIS’s new XAS beamline ASTRA will be presented online. 

For everybody interested in using X-ray absorption spectroscopy for applied research, no matter whether from academia or industry, the SYLINDA Symposium will be the perfect event to learn how to use it on the top level. 

We look forward to seeing you via the Zoom platform!
