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
The 2026 edition will highlight how XR and neutron techniques complement other investigative methods in advancing the study of functional materials for applications in the energy sector (nuclear energy, hydrogen production and storage, batteries…).
When? 16 to 20 March 2026
Where? At Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble
Link to the provisional program
The school will feature a combination of:
- Lectures
- 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
REGISTRATION
Registration is open until 1st February.
Accommodation on site, in Grenoble, is provided free of charge by the organisers for the whole week.
The Institut français de Suède can fund up to six scholarships of SEK 5,000 each for registered participants who are affiliated with a Swedish University. This amount is intended to cover international transport costs and registration fees.
