 )\; Marisa Medarde (PSI)\nPowder-diffraction methods have demonstrated an 
 ever increasing range of applications in materials science\, chemistry\, p
 hysics\, life sciences and engineering. Modern synchrotron-radiation metho
 ds not only provide data of exceptional quality\, but have allowed researc
 hers to perform previously inaccessible experiments. Along with determinin
 g the atomic structure and the relative abundance of crystalline phases in
  bulk samples\, information on disordered materials\, microstructural feat
 ures\, defects and their evolution in response to external stimuli over a 
 wide range of timescales is now possible.\n\nThe school\, to be held at th
 e Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen\, Switzerland\, will give a broad ov
 erview of all the modern possibilities using synchrotron radiation\, start
 ing with a general theoretical introduction to the various methods and app
 lications. Hands-on practicals with selected synchrotron XRPD measurements
  and experiments are the central part of the school and will provide the s
 tudent with a solid fundamental understanding of these essential and versa
 tile experimental techniques. An exhaustive data analysis of the collected
  data\, with various approaches and programs\, will complete the course.
