The 2026 School on Neutron Diffraction Data Treatment using the FullProf Suite will be focused on the treatment of diffraction data from material science, including energy materials, batteries, etc.
The school will be held at the Institute Laue-Langevin, in Grenoble from July 27 to August 1, 2026.
Overview
Scientific scope:
FPSchool aims to contribute to the training of scientists in treatment of X-ray and neutron diffraction data.The school is based on intensive hands-on sessions using the computer programs of the FullProf Suite.
The lectures and tutorials will provide the essential tools necessary for an efficient use of the FullProf Suite at an intermediate level. In addition to general applications, the new features available for handle data from energy materials, FullProfAPP, will be given a special attention.
Lectures:
The school will be dedicated to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of multiphase samples as well as in situ or in operando data sets using the FullProf Suite, FullProfAPP, Faults and external applications as the Bilbao Crystallographic Server, Crystallography Open Database (COD).
There will be different theoretical modules plus a large number of hands-on sessions for which each participant is expected to bring his/her own laptop with the FullProf Suite and FullProfAPP already installed.
Participants:
The school is intended for PhD students and experienced scientists with a sound knowledge on powder diffraction techniques and single crystal crystallography.
The maximum number of participants is limited to 30 in order to ensure the quality of the training provided. Participation will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis, and the first 30 candidates who complete the application process will be selected.
