AIP 2010
5-9 December 2010
Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre
The 19th Australian Institute of Physics Congress incorporating the 35th Australian Conference on Optical Fibre Technology will be the biggest and most diverse scientific meeting of the Australian physics calendar. Hosted by the Australian Institute of Physics, it will attract 700-1000 delegates from groups across Australia, including academic institutions, CSIRO, DSTO, ANSTO, Australian Synchrotron, teachers and students, hospitals and a diverse range of industry sectors: manufacturing, telecommunications, biomedicine, defence, transport and electronics.

AXAA 2011
6-11 February 2011
Star City, Sydney, NSW
The AXAA 2011 Schools, Advanced Workshops, Conference and Exhibition provide opportunities for people working in the fields of laboratory x-ray fluorescence and x-ray diffraction, and in synchrotron, neutron and other complementary scattering techniques, to participate in discussions, knowledge-sharing and networking. The meeting will showcase recent scientific results and exciting new developments in related instrumentation, software, and techniques of analysis. It will focus on advances in industrial and fundamental research, particularly those achieved though new developments in techniques.

IXS2010
11-14 October 2010
World Trade Center, Grenoble, France
The 7th International Conference on Inelastic X-ray Scattering is hosted by ESRF and Politecnico di Milano. It will provide a forum for presentation of novel results, discussion of present and future trends, and interaction between participants who use different IXS techniques for a wide variety of applications. The conference will cover electronic resonant and non-resonant scattering (soft and hard x-rays), emission spectroscopy, meV-resolved atomic dynamics, nuclear inelastic scattering, Compton scattering, and thermal diffuse scattering.

Erice 2011: The Power of Powder Diffraction
2-12 June 2011
Ettore Majorana Centre, Erice, Italy
The 44th crystallographic course at Erice Crystallography School will be a complete introduction to the diverse field of powder diffraction. Recent breakthroughs in experimental powder diffraction and data analysis mean that this versatile technique is now solving and refining inorganic, molecular and even protein structures relatively routinely.
