The first thematic school of the GDR NanOperando will be held from September 12 to 15, 2022 at the Synchrotron SOLEIL in Gif-Sur-Yvette and Ecole Polytechnique in Palaiseau.

These scientific days aim to present the theoretical and practical aspects of numerous in situ / operando techniques which make it possible to study the structural dynamics of materials in a liquid or gaseous environment. Through lectures and practical work organized around two transmission electron microscopes (Nanomax and Nan'eau), a scanning tunneling microscope and no less than 5 synchrotron beamlines (TEMPO, SIXS, SAMBA, ROCK and HERMES), we hope to cover the immense thematic diversity of the GDR NanOperando and highlight the latest technical developments allowing the study of (nano)materials as close as possible to real conditions and to show the contribution of atomistic simulations in the interpretation of results.

This free training but with the number of places limited to 30 participants will be an opportunity for young (and not so young) researchers to gain a practical understanding of the scientific landscape that surrounds them and to identify opportunities for collaboration on a national scale.

The GDR offers free accommodation provided in the SOLEIL Guest House for the 30 participants.
