| Workshop 1:
 
 XAFS Tutorials for crystallographers and beginners: General introduction and analytical methods for crystallographers and beginners in the field of XAFS.
 
 Organizers:
 
 
The purpose of the Tutorial is to give a general introduction and analytical methods for crystallographers and beginners in the field of XAFS. The number of participants is limited to 60.Isabella AsconeJoaquin García Ruiz 
 Lectures will cover the fundamentals of XAFS: data analysis and its principles, theory and simulation of XAFS spectra, with applications to biology, chemistry, physics and materials science. Some tutorials will provide hands-on practice of XAFS.

 Current Research on Molecular Structures and Chemical Properties – A Young Perspective
 
 Organizers:
 
 
This workshop, proposed by the ECA Special Interest Group 13 (SIG13), organized in collaboration with the General Interest Group of Young Crystallographers (GIG-YC), and supported by the IUCr Commission of Structural Chemistry is aimed to encourage the exchange of current experiences between different groups working in this area.Teresa Duarte,

 We invite young researchers (under 35 years of age) to give short talks (~ 20 min) to explain to the other participants the main objectives of the research carried out in their groups and on the specific research they are personally involved in. The main goal is to learn through these short talks the current work that is carried out on the binomial ‘Molecular Structures/Chemical Properties’ in different groups. We would like to stimulate the establishment of future collaboration, perhaps within the framework of international funding systems.
 
 Registration will be possible all time before the workshop (even ‘in-situ!), BUT it will be very helpful for the organization if you register BEFORE the date of the workshop.Final Workshop Schedule
