The goal of the PSD Mini-Symposia is to promote scientific discussions between the different groups and laboratories of the Photon Science Division (PSD). The symposia cover the on-going research topics pursued by the doctoral or post-doctoral researchers in the PSD division, with a focus on synchrotron radiation. The symposia are organised in 3-4 talks in a common scientific theme. Each 20 min talk introduces the necessary background to make the topic understandable by a wide audience and is followed by a 5-10min slots for questions and discussion. The symposia occurs on the second Tuesday of the month at 10:00 in WBGB/019. (Variations in the calendar may occur.)
