2nd RIANA Training School on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

We are pleased to announce the 2nd RIANA Training School, dedicated to ion beam–based techniques for structuring and characterization in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The event will take place at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) in Dresden, Germany, 1-4 June 2026.

This training school combines lectures with 6 hands-on training sessions led by renowned scientific experts and top researchers.

Topics include:

  • Ion beam basics

  • Accelerators and instrumentation

  • Ion beam analysis

  • Simulation of ion beam damage

  • Focused ion beam instrumentation 

  • Applications of focused ion beams

  • Surface patterning using low-energy ion beams

Hands-on training:

  • Rutherford Backscattering (RBS)

  • Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE)

  • Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA)

  • FIB-based sample preparation

  • FIB-based defect engineering

  • Scanning Auger Microscopy

The training school is intended for PhD students and early-career researchers/postdocs (up to 5 years after PhD defense).

Registration is free of charge. For selected applicants, the program includes accommodation (single room with breakfast), coffee breaks, snacks during the evening poster session, and a social event. Lunch is at the participant’s own expense and can be taken at the local canteen.

Application deadline: 13 March 2026
