15 PhD Students of the Destiny Doctorate Programme trained at Elettra

From May 15th until May 19th 2023, 15 students selected within the DESTINY European Doctorate Programme exploited the Elettra beamlines’ capabilities in a theroretical and hands-on training school entitled «Operando studies using synchrotron radiation».
This training school took place at the premises of Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste with lectures on different techniques employing synchrotron radiation relevant for the topics of the DESTINY program. The students had the possibility to experience the life of a synchrotron user, as the emphasis was on a hands-on approach providing training courses on two different beamlines XAFS and MCX, and the Tomolab laboratory. Interactive sessions were organized to prepare students to deal with basic data analysis as well as to write their own proposals.
