IAEA Regional Training Course on the utilization of Synchrotron Radiation Techniques

From 4 to 7 November, 2014, IAEA and Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste organized the Regional Training Course on the utilization of Synchrotron Radiation Techniques for Advanced Analytical Studies on Air Pollution to improve scientists' access to Elettra beamlines.

Elettra and IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) have been collaborating for several years: back in 2005 the Trieste research centre was included among “IAEA Collaborating Centres” for the purpose of supporting the Agency’s activities in disseminating scientific and technical culture and of promoting international networks among research players worldwide. Forty percent of the beam time of the new XRF beamline at Elettra, inaugurated in early October 2014, is reserved for research groups from IAEA Member States.
