ALT HERCULES EUROPEAN SCHOOL is a five weeks course coordinated by the Universitรฉ Grenoble Alpes (UGA). The school provides training for students, postdoctoral and senior scientists from European and non-European universities and laboratories, in the field of Neutrons, X-ray Synchrotron Radiation, and Free Electron Laser for condensed matter studies (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Geosciences, Industrial applications). Neutron and X-ray science is integrated with complementary techniques like (but not only) optical and electron microscopy, NMR, optical spectroscopy. It includes lectures, practicals, tutorials, and visits of Large Facilities: ALBA in Barcelona, KIT in Karlsruhe, DESY and European XFEL in Hamburg, Elettra and FERMI in Trieste, ESRF and ILL in Grenoble, SOLEIL in Paris-Saclay, and PSI in Villigen. The language of the course is English.

ALT The 2023 Don McKenzie Paul Thesis Prize has been awarded to Dr Harrison Laurent (University of Leeds) for his work on the effect of the organic osmolyte TMAO in extremophile organisms in high salinity and high pressure water environments โ and the ensuing insight into how extremophiles survive on Earth and how they may survive on other planets.
