DESCRIPTION:\n	ICTP PWF -AMRS - Kenya - Materials Science at Synchrotrons\
 nUniversity of Nairobi\, Kenya\nICTP Physics Without Frontiers (PWF)\, in 
 collaboration with the African Materials Research Society (AMRS)\, SUNSTON
 E/SESAME\, the University of Nairobi\, the African Light Source initiative
  and Diamond Light Source\, is organising a three-day workshop on Material
 s Science at Synchrotrons alongside the 2026 AMRS\nConference in Nairobi\,
  Kenya.\nThe workshop will bring together approximately 50 undergraduate a
 nd postgraduate students and early-career researchers\, providing training
  in synchrotron science and advanced experimental techniques\, including X
 -ray imaging\, spectroscopy\, diffraction\, computed tomography and their 
 applications in materials science.\nThrough expert lectures\, practical pr
 oject development\, poster preparation and mentoring\, participants will g
 ain insights into accessing international synchrotron facilities\, prepari
 ng research proposals and pursuing postgraduate and research careers at li
 ght sources.\nThe workshop aims to strengthen scientific capacity and inte
 rnational collaboration across Africa\, expand opportunities for African r
 esearchers to access advanced research facilities\, and support the develo
 pment of the next generation of scientists. Selected participants will als
 o have the opportunity to send a sample for a remote experiment at the UK'
 s Diamond Light Source.\nProject coordinator and Speaker: Dr Kudakwashe Ja
 kata\, Senior Support Scientist at the Diamond Light Source i13 beamline\n
 \n	Local coordinator: Dr. Victor Odari\, Co-Chair of the African Materials
  Research Society 2026 conference\, & Dr Elly Miller Shatsala\, Advanced
