The Summer School will be held both at Smygehus konferenscentrum, beautifully situated by the Baltic sea, and at MAX-lab in Lund. The school is free of charge^*) for the participants, including travel expenses^*).

A thorough presentation will be made of the accelerators and the production of synchrotron radiation, insertion devices and instrumentation. Applications that will be treated during the school include not only materials science, spectroscopy and lithography but also structural analysis: EXAFS and crystallography. Special lectures will be held about fourth generation light sources and the potential use of free electron lasers in the X-ray region..

The lecturers will, as previous years, be recruited internationally and will be among the most prominent in their field in Europe and world wide.

• In addition to lectures the participants will work in groups with project oriented work in research related duties in connection to synchrotron radiation. The groups will be put together as a mixture of participants from different countries.
• An experimental program is included in the course. MAX-lab will provide beam time to the participants in aim to work in a realistic situation and try out their practical knowledge about the properties of synchrotron radiation, how the accelerator, the insertion devices and experimental stations operate.
• The course also includes a one-day-workshop where the participants present and discuss the work from the group at their home institute with fellows and the teachers.
