Q2XAFS is a symposium series bringing together experts in the field of X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy to discuss aspects of the technique that affect data quality in XAFS experiments.
The next meeting will run at the Australian Synchrotron, ANSTO, as a satellite of the IUCr Congress 2023 in Melbourne, Australia. Q2XAFS 2023 will provide a forum for discussions with the goal of reviewing international standards and protocols and developing revised recommendations for best practices when performing XAFS experiments. The workshop will be attended by scientists working at international facilities as well as academics.
Q2XAFS 2023 will be held as an in-person only event.
Following the workshop, a roundtable discussion will be held at the University of Melbourne to progress and consolidate discussions from the workshop (by invitation).

Early Career Poster Award
Q2XAFS2023 will include a poster session with a focus on early career scientists, including students and post-docs. Please present your achievements and your own problems concerning XAFS data quality including, experimental and theoretical efforts. To promote your participation, the IXAS has created poster awards based on the kind donation from Dr. Matthew Newville and Dr. Bruce Ravel, who received the Edward Stern Prize in XAFS2022 in Sydney. We need all young powers to blow in a new wind. Please join Q2XAFS and get the prize!!
