The program of this year’s TXRF Conference is now online available. The 14th TXRF conference takes place in Dortmund, Germany June 6-9, 2011. Further informations are to be found at the conference website http://www.txrf2011.org.
The workshop taking place June 28-30, 2011 in Girona, Spain covers the theory and applications of the various XRF spectrometric techniques, from the well established to the emerging topics.
The program consists of several lectures, given by international and national recognized speakers and practical sessions, which include hands on activities using different x-ray fluorescence based configurations: TXRF , EDXRF and µ-EDXRF.
Attendees have the opportunity to bring up questions on specific topics or applications for discussion in the workshop.

Dear friends and colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that TECHNART 2011 (Non-destructive and Microanalytical Techniques in Art and Cultural Heritage Research) will take place in the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Berlin, Germany from 26 to 29 April 2011.
The conference follows the successful organization of TECHNART 2007 in Lisbon, in April 2007 by Prof. Maria Luísa de Carvalho and in April 2009 in Athens organized by the Institute of Nuclear Physics at NCSR “Demokritos”, Athens and the Institute of Electronic Structure and Lasers at FORTH, Heraklion, Crete (IESL-FORTH).
The aim of TECHNART 2011 is to provide a scientific forum to present and promote the use of analytical spectroscopy techniques on the field of Cultural Heritage. The conference offers an outstanding and unique opportunity for exchanging knowledge on leading edge developments. Cultural Heritage studies are interpreted in a broad sense, including pigments, stones, metals, glass, ceramics, chemometrics on artwork studies, resins, fibers, forensic applications in art and archaeology, conservation etc.
TECHNART 2011 is organized by the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Berlin in collaboration with the Technische Universität Berlin and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH.
