Dear All,
We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the upcoming meeting on ‘Theory for XFEL research in chemical and condensed matter science’, which will take place 1-2 July 2025 at Imperial College, London (UK)!
Event webpage for registration and updates: Theory for XFEL research in chemical and condensed matter science (1-2 July 2025): Overview · STFC Indico
This meeting will initiate a discussion between theoretical and experimental communities to enable better XFEL experiments in the future. A particular emphasis will be placed on the development of theoretical predictions before beamtimes to ensure that the most efficient strategies are adopted before measurements. This meeting will discuss the potential to use high-quality calculations of dynamics and experimental observables (both spectroscopic and scattering) for gas, solution phase and solid-state experiments.
Invited speakers: Majed Chergui (Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste), Sonia Coriani (DTU), Nađa Došlić (Institut Ruđer Bošković Zagreb), Matthew Foulkes (Imperial College), Lina Fransen (U. Nantes), William Glover (NYU Shanghai), Daria Gorelova (U. Hamburg), Niels Huse (U. Hamburg), Rebecca Ingle (UCL), Nanna List (KTH/U. Birmingham), Gilberto Teobaldi (STFC).
The meeting is jointly organized by members of the UK XFEL programme (https://xfel.ac.uk) and the EPSRC programme grants UPDICE (https://updiceproject.com) and COSMOS (https://cosmosproject.co.uk)/).
A detailed schedule will be released on the event website closer to the date.
The organizers
Jon Marangos, Tom Penfold, Adam Kirrander, Graham Worth, and Basile Curchod
