DESCRIPTION:Dr. Wojciech Gawelda\n\nEuropean XFEL GmbH\, Germany\nWith the
  advent of soft- and hard X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFEL) sources\, enti
 rely new scientific opportunities and prospects have been become available
  in the field of time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray scattering. On
 e of the most unprecedented features of XFELs is their ability to produce 
 high intensity pulsed X- ray pulse trains with single pulse duration well 
 below 100 femtoseconds. This property allows dynamical studies of light-ma
 tter interactions virtually in any medium on the very fundamental timescal
 es of interatomic motions\, i.e. intra- and intermolecular vibrations\, fr
 om gas-phase to complex molecular systems\, i.e. biomolecules and proteins
 .\nIn this talk I will present a state-of-the-art overview of the abovemen
 tioned research venues\, with special emphasis on chemical dynamics studie
 s\, which highly benefit from the progress in the field of XFEL technology
 . In particular\, I will focus on those aspects\, which profit most from t
 he temporal properties of the XFEL radiation. Some very recent examples of
  early user experiments carried out at the European XFEL facility in the p
 ast few months will be presented and discussed.
