Mon, 28 Apr 2025 10:30:27 -0000

8 - 29 April 2025 In a bid to advance scientific research, the SUNSTONE Project, under the SESAME initiative, is launching a free online training program starting in April 2025. This program is a series of General Online Lectures, designed to provide researchers with in-depth knowledge of synchrotron radiation techniques, which are vital in a wide range of scientific disciplines.The first series of SUNSTONE online lectures will take place on four days during the period 8-29th April 2025, with each day dedicated to a unique research theme. On the first day (8 April), participants will be introduced to the basics of synchrotron radiation and its role in scientific research. The following days will delve into specific thematic areas. Day two (16 April) will focus on Archaeology & Cultural Heritage Using X-ray Computed Tomography, where participants will learn how synchrotron radiation aids in the analysis and preservation of historical artifacts. This non-destructive approach allows researchers to examine artifacts in 3D, revealing hidden layers and assessing material compositions without damaging the objects. Online training lectures that will take place on 4 days during the period 8-29 April, namely 8, 16, 21 and 29 April
