Application

The Durham Powder Diffraction and Rietveld Refinement school will be held from 12-16th April 2026 (Sunday afternoon to Thursday lunchtime).

The cost of the course will be a maximum of £500 for PhD students and university-based PDRAs and £850 for industrial and permanent academic staff. This fee includes registration, 4 nights’ accommodation in en-suite single rooms, all meals, the school gala dinner and all teaching materials.

To apply for a place on the School please complete the form here. 

The closing deadline for applications is Tuesday 23 December 2026. Places will be offered by email in early January.

Please don’t send any money until you have been offered a place. Submission of an application form does not guarantee your place on the course. The number of places is limited and in case of over-subscription the organising committee will prioritise applications to achieve a balance of institutions, research groups, scientific disciplines, countries of origin and diversity among delegates.

Once you have been offered a place we will request payment by 13 February 2026. If for any reason you wish to withdraw your application please contact [email protected] as soon as possible.
