The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS), part of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), will host the 7^th School of Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS School) from September 17 to 20, 2022. The school will take place at Sirius in Campinas-SP, Brazil as a satellite event part of the scientific activities of the 18^th edition of the International Small-Angle Scattering Conference (SAS).

In this edition, the school will be focusing on the scattering data analysis of biological systems, such as proteins and biomembranes. Moreover, there will be both national and international well-known researchers giving classes. To the present date, the organizing committee are planning a 100% onsite school to promote opportunity for students to interact with the researchers and Sirius facilities.

The school is aimed to students and early career scientists enthusiastic to learn SAXS. A detailed tentative program will soon be announced at this website.

Questions and comments, or if you are interested in sponsorship, please contact the SAXS School chair, Leandro Barbosa – leandro.barbosa@lnls.br

In September 1972 the first user experiment was performed on D11, the archetype pin-hole SANS at the Institut Laue – Langevin. On the occasion of the 50^th anniversary of D11 a symposium will celebrate this achievement as a satellite meeting to the XVIII International Small-Angle Scattering Conference (SAS2022).

The symposium shall take place as an in-person meeting (the sanitary situation permitting) from 26-Sep until 28-Sep 2022.

More information together with important dates will be soon put on https://workshops.ill.fr/e/50yearsD11.
