The colloquium is devoted to synchrotron radiation and its application in different scientific fileds. Tutorials of Czech scientists will present physical and technological principles of synchrotron, origin and monochromatization of radiation in the range from infrared to hard X-rays and applications for diffraction, absorption, spectroscopic and imaging methods in materials science, physics, chemistry and biology. The colloquium is motivated by the Czech participation at existing synchrotrons (mainly ESRF and ELETTRA), preparation of the project CESLAB (Central European Synchrotron Laboratory) for construction of synchrotron radiation in the Czech Republic, and by the effort to spread the knowledge on the synchrotron and its application in a broad scientific commmunity in a form of a short school. The colloquium is low-cost. In particular, the participation of students is welcome. The main languages are Czech and Slovak. English contributions are accepted as well.
