The FASEM is a recurring biennial advanced-school, rotating across three key thematic areas: Scattering Techniques for Environment & Materials, Life Sciences, and Energy Applications. Its goals are to prepare the future generation of users of large-scale facilities for synchrotron and neutron scattering; develop and strengthen sustainable scientific exchanges between the French and Swedish communities on the use of large-scale facilities, in connection with the forthcoming ESS commissioning; and strengthen the links between institutes in France (ILL, ESRF, SOLEIL) and in Sweden (MAX-IV, ESS).
PRACTICAL INFORMATION – 2026 EDITION
When? 16 to 20 March 2026
Where? At Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble
The school will feature a combination of:
- Application highlights and discussion panels
- Visits to the ESRF and ILL facilities
- Opportunities to build lasting academic and industrial networks
- Identification and support of promising early-career researchers
FASEM2026 will showcase how XR and neutron scattering techniques can drive advances in the study of functional materials for energy use and related applications.
