Sample mechanical and ionic preparation practicals will take place at partner laboratories in Université d'Orsay. A specific feature of the school will be training at SOLEIL beamlines (CRISTAL, DIFFABS, LUCIA, SWING) that will enable the participants to perform synchrotron experiment. A detailed visit of the synchrotron will be organised.</span></font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><o:p></o:p></span></font></font></div></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; "><font><o:p><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> </span></font></o:p></font></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; "><font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">The course will ideally be suited to young professionals, including post-docs and PhD students. </span><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">Grants will be available for selected participants.
