Developing and Enacting Codes of Conducts in Professional Unions
More and more academic, research, and industrial institutions are enacting codes of conduct. These codes clarify an organization’s mission, values, and principles and can serve as both internal guidelines and external statements of values and commitments. Several international unions have recently developed such codes of conduct, and many more are interested in doing so. This…
I International School of Crystallography: X-Ray Powder Diffraction
This initiative seeks to disseminate crystallography and X-ray techniques, especially powder diffraction, in the Latin American scientific-technological community. It also seeks to orient research supported by crystallographic methods toward the SDGs, mainly promoting quality education. In its first edition, this initiative seeks to train (mainly junior) Latin American researchers so that from a scientific approach,…
Special Remote DESY Summer School 2023
This iremote/virtual summer school offers physics data analysis projects in the area of LHC physics. Students will first learn basic features of proton-proton collisions and analysis tools, and then start working on concrete projects. The results of the projects will be written up in short Analysis Notes, which are then submitted to the corresponding LHC…
