1ST INTERNATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL ON TXRF – September [WG1, WG2, WG3, WG4]
The 1st ISS-TXRF summer school aims at face theoretical and practical aspects of TXRF spectroscopy and will be hold by internationally-recognized experts. Participants (PhD students, researchers and technicians from both academy and private companies) will have the opportunity to learn or expand their knowledge about the basics and applications of TXRF in different scientific fields. Due to the COVID-19 emergency, the summer school will be held on-line. Registration is free of charge and there are nolimits in the number of participants. Official language of the Summer School is English.
