About

The Nephews project offers virtual training events for newcomers in the usage of large-scale Research Infrastructures.

 

We will conduct four cycles of two-day training in the following fields:

  • Presentation of Research Capabilities of SR/FELs and N Facilities and their complementarity – introducing the research potential and synergies between Synchrotron Radiation (SR), Free Electron Lasers (FELs), and Neutron Research Infrastructures (N RI).
  • Open Access RI – providing guidance on access procedures to large-scale RIs and the criteria for developing a successful beamtime proposal.

 

Join us to enhance your understanding and skills in utilising these advanced research facilities effectively.

Access

Access to our virtual training events is open to everyone.

 

Registration

Registration details and a comprehensive program will be provided prior to the next edition.

 

Missed the Live Event?

No worries! You can watch recordings of our speakers’ presentations below.

Keep in mind that live training sessions allow for Q&A, and each session varies slightly. We encourage you to review the recordings and join our online meetings for the full experience.
