.. _Workshops: Training Workshops and Short Courses ------------------------------------------------------ Many training workshops and short courses on XAFS and X-ray spectroscopy are held each year around the world. Much of the content on this page links to presentation materials preserved from a sequence of courses organized throughout the 2000s and early 2010s by the `folks who develop this website `__. Workshop materials prepared and presented over the years by Bruce Ravel can be found at `GitHub `__ and `SpeakerDeck `__. More training and learning material can be found on `the Tutorials page `__ NSLS XAFS Short Courses 2005 - 2021 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a series of courses organized by Anatoly Frenkel, the Synchrotron Catalysis Consortium, and the NSLS/NSLS-II User Office. In some cases, links to presentation materials are provided on the Agenda page. * `XAFS Short Course 2011 `__ * `XANES Short Course 2012 `__ * `In-situ Methods of X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy `__ * `Methods and Applications of X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy 2014 `__ * `Advanced Topics in XAFS Data Analysis and Modeling 2015 `__ * `X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy (XAFS) Short Course: Principles and Applications `__ * `Data Analysis and Modeling of XANES and EXAFS Spectra: Applications to Nanomaterials 2017 `__ * `Introduction to X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy 2018 `__ * `Short Course on X-ray Absorption Fine Structure: Theory, Data Analysis and Modeling 2019 `__ See `XAFS Workshops `_ for more (and more up-to-date) information.
