The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) and the Institute of Physics of University of Campinas (UNICAMP) will hold the 41^st International Conference on Vacuum Ultraviolet and X-ray Physics (VUVX 2023) from 3 to 7 July, 2023, at Campinas-SP, Brazil.

The International Conference VUVX 2023 will bring together scientists from all over the world working in fields involving electromagnetic radiation in the vacuum ultraviolet, soft X-ray and hard X-ray spectral regions generated by synchrotron, laser, or plasma based sources. Topics to be covered range from instrumentation and methods development to applications in a variety of fields. 

The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) will hold the 6th Brazil Interpore Chapter Conference on Porous Media from 7-9 August 2023 in Campinas-SP, Brazil.

This event aims to disseminate knowledge on porous media related topics and strengthen the collaboration between the Brazilian interpore community and the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory by bringing together international and local specialists from the academy, industry, and experimental areas related to porous media research.

Registration for the “Fluka Introductory Course” is open until January 9, 2023. FLUKA is a Monte Carlo particle interaction and transport code widely used in diverse areas such as shielding calculations, dosimetry, and particle physics. The Course will cover from basic topics, such as defining the geometry of the beam and detectors, to specific applications such as user routines and simulation in clusters. It will take place online on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from January 23rd and September 08th. March 2023. Register!

The meeting aims to gather researchers who use LNLS scientific instrumentation to perform cutting edge experiments in areas such as materials science, health and pharmacology, environmental science energy, biotechnology, x-ray Imaging, oil and gas, chemistry, and others.

The 3^rd annual AgroEnviro Workshop – Rhizosphere and Hyphosphere Processes Affecting Phosphorus, Carbon, and Nutrient Cycling – will be held from 5-6 October, 2022 in Campinas-SP, in Brazil. The event will focus on rhizosphere and hyphosphere biogeochemical processes that affect cycling of soil phosphorus, carbon, and other nutrients, discussing topics of critical importance to the sustainability of agriculture and environmental stewardship and enlighten the audience to ongoing and potential uses of synchrotron techniques at Sirius for scientific discoveries in the field. 

The H2MAT will promote the meeting of the LNLS-CNPEM external users´ community, among them researchers, students, engineers, staff scientists and experts to discuss the applications of synchrotron radiation and related techniques in the study of hierarchical and heterogeneous materials.  Registration with abstract submission for the H2MAT - International Sirius Workshop on Heterogeneous and Hierarchical Materials is open until 30 August, and the event will happen on October 3 and 4, entirely online.  They will discuss what are the new scientific opportunities offered in the main laboratories around the world and what are the challenges of research and experimentation in multidisciplinary areas, such as catalysis, energetic materials, porous materials, ceramics, cement, and carbon, among others.  Researchers and students are invited to present their scientific cases and discoveries in multidisciplinary fields. 

The SAXS school is aimed at students and early career scientists enthusiastic to learn SAXS focusing on the scattering data analysis of biological systems, such as proteins and membranes. More information at the website.
