<br>
We take pleasure in informing you that registration is now open for our MATRAC 2 School 'Application of Neutrons and Synchrotron Radiation in Materials Science with Special Focus on Fundamental Aspects of Materials' to be held in Munich and Garching (near Munich),
Germany, from 1<sup>st</sup> to 6<sup>th</sup> March 2026. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Poppins">The MATRAC 2 School will provide a systematic overview of the application of neutrons and synchrotron radiation to the structural analysis of engineering materials and will focus
on neutron scattering and imaging experiments. Therefore, the school consists of a two-day theoretical course in Munich and two days of experiments at the FRM II in Garching. The fifth day of the school offers further talks and a final discussion. All relevant
experimental methods will be covered. Students and young scientists from research and industry from all of Europe interested in this field are welcome to participate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
