| Description | STOE DECTRIS Xenocs Open FactorySTOE, DECTRIS and Xenocs are proud to support the IUCr through a range of activities in the International Year of Crystallography 2014. As part of these activities, STOE, DECTRIS and Xenocs are hosting an OpenFactory at STOE’s headquarter in Darmstadt, Germany and at Xenocs’ headquarter in Grenoble, France. Candidates are young scientists, already knowledgeable about crystallography, but with less exposure to XRD. This event will help such young scientists to become thought-leaders for crystallography in their home countries. Participants will receive seven days of intensive training by STOE, DECTRIS and Xenocs staff and guest scientists in cooperation with the IUCr. In Grenoble, delegates will spend time at the ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility) and at Xenocs headquarters. In Darmstadt, participants will be trained at STOE’s headquarters. The program is free of charge. Applications will be open from 1 February to 30 March 2014 at www.iycr2014.org/openfactory.
