Our selected contributed speakers are:
Valérie Briois (Synchrotron SOLEIL), Ben Watts (PSI, Swiss Light Source) and Joachim Schulz (European XFEL)
The LEAPS-INNOV workshop on Multi-modal and Multi-spectral Microscopy is preceded by a partner event from LINXS on the 8th of January: the kick off meeting for the AIDA theme (Advanced Imaging & Data Analysis). LINXS is an advanced study institute whose mission is to promote science and education focusing on the use of neutrons and X-rays, to attract world-leading scientists for short-term focused research visits, and to create international networks. More information can be found on the kickoff page and on the general LINXS pages: AIDA-kickoff and www.linxs.se
