We are pleased to announce that the SPring-8 User Workshop will be held from February 1st to 2nd, 2014 in SPring-8 campus. We would like to discuss current advances and the future directions of studies using the SPring-8 facility.

The SPring-8 Users Community (SPRUC), which was established in April 2012, is an organization that all SPring-8 users can participate in. One of the aims of SPRUC is to collaborate with SPring-8 in contributing to the improvement of facilities, and development of measurement technology. In 2014, SPRUC will build the new system of SPRUC Research Groups which are organized into four major scientific fields. The aim of this workshop is to bring researchers and engineers together to share the experiences and opinions in the related fields.

The program will consist of four parallel sessions:
  1. Workshop of Biomolecules
  2. Workshop of Fundamental Characterization
  3. Workshop of Applied Materials
  4. Workshop of Measurement Methods
It is also important that this workshop will be the good occasion to express your opinion and to contribute to decisions about the future evolution of the SPring-8 facility. The participation of all SPring-8 users, including those involved in the industrial activities of the facility, is strongly encouraged.
