Explore the ESRF beamlines through webinars

Everything you always wanted to know about your beamline (but were afraid to ask)

This series of monthly interactive webinars is open to the ESRF user community, especially  (but not restricted) to PhD students and PostDocs.

It aims to show the enormous possibilities offered by the new Extremely Brilliant Source and how the improvements in each beamline will help shape your experiments and test your hypotheses.

The webinars will be on the ESRF Zoom platform, they will last for about 20 minutes and will be followed by a discussion of about 15 minutes, moderated by ESRF User Organisation Representatives.

Next webinars:
