The State of São Paulo would like to increase the number of foreign pos-docs. For that, it is creating “Advanced schools” (5 per year) on different topics. The goal is to have 100 students, during their PhD: 50% from Latin America and 50% from  other parts of the world. The idea is to show them domains that have moved quickly in the last few years. We have proposed to have one on  «The new developments in the field of Synchrotron Radiation». The school will not deal with the techniques, but with the scientific domains: structural biology, 3D imaging, magnetism, nanosciences, catalysis, etc. Most of the students will probably not be familiar with Synchrotron Radiation, so they could learn about new possibilities for their research.

DATES:
From January 17th till 25th 2011, followed by 2 days visiting universities in Sao Carlos, Campinas and Sao Paulo.
