2026 session: 22th February - 29th March, 2026
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: 1 October 2025
HERCULES is a European School for registered PhD students and young
researchers using Neutrons and Synchrotron Radiation for applications in
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Hard & Soft Condensed Matter.
The 5-week school includes lectures (60%), hands-on practicals, labs &
tutorials (30%), visits, poster sessions, ...
Participants will spend one week in a partner institution in Europe among:
ALBA in Barcelona, Spain
MAXIV-ESS-LINXS in Lund, Sweden (NEW PARTNERS !)
KIT light source in Karlsruhe, Germany
SOLEIL in Saint-Aubin, France
This comes along with practicals, labs, and tutorials which will take
place in Grenoble at ILL, ESRF and Grenoble Laboratories (CNRS, IBS).
The school includes a common part and two parallel sessions:
- Physics and chemistry of condensed matter (session A)
- Biomolecular and soft condensed matter (session B)
The school will be held in a hybrid format. Thus, it will also be
possible to participate part-time online, i.e. attending only the
lectures held in Grenoble during weeks 1, 2, 3 and 5.
Why join Hercules?
- to learn new techniques using neutron and synchrotron radiation
- to expand your theoretical and practical knowledge, not only for your
present research but also for your scientific career
- to experiment these techniques on world-class instruments & beamlines
- to build a network of relations with fellow young researchers and
experienced teachers from all over the World
Bursaries/reduced costs
- A limited number of fellowship grants will be available to reduce
registration fees
