Dear all, We are pleased to announce next edition of the ESRF MX School
*"Getting the most from the ESRF MX beamlines"* ESRF, Grenoble, France, 8th - 11th February 2010 As part of its 2010 Users Meeting, the ESRF will host a short school *"Getting the most from the ESRF MX beamlines"* from 8th to 11th February 2010. The School will be held on 3 days either side of the Users Meeting and is aimed at younger, relatively inexperienced users of the ESRF's MX beam-lines. The school is designed to (a) introduce the art of collecting good diffraction data at synchrotron-based MX facilities, (b) familiarize the participants with the tools available at the beam-line to allow correct pre- and post-data collection decisions to be taken and (c) present the various ancillary techniques and equipment accessible at the ESRF’s MX beam-lines. The number of participants will be limited to 20 with all _local costs_(i.e. registration fees, accommodation, subsistence) being met by the ESRF. The deadline for applications is *13th December 2008 midnight*.
