The Data Evaluation Group is pleased to announce a 1-day Rietveld workshop, organised with support of the MLZ Science Group “Structure Research” on 6th December 2023 in the Glaspalast at FRM II. This workshop is intended to train scientists in treatment of neutron (and X-ray) diffraction data using the FullProf Suite software, which is one of the most frequently used packages by users of neutron diffractometers. The lectures and practical sessions with neutron data examples from MLZ will provide the essential tools necessary for an efficient use of the FullProf Suite and its subprograms (WINPLOTR, VESTA) at a beginner’s level. 

The workshop is open for all students and scientists belonging to MLZ User community, as well as those belonging to MLZ partner institutions. It is limited to 15 participants on a first come, first served basis. Participants are expected to bring their own laptops. The FullProf software package can be downloaded from https://www.ill.eu/sites/fullprof/php/downloads.html . For VESTA, the webiste is http://jp-minerals.org/vesta/en/
