About the AOFSRR School
The AOFSRR-School (Asia-Oceania Forum for Synchrotron Radiation Research School) is an international summer school dedicated to the field of synchrotron radiation research in the Asia-Oceania region. Its predecessor was the Cheiron School (2007–2015), organized by Japan's SPring-8 Synchrotron Radiation Facility. This school is held annually to provide young researchers across the Asia-Oceania region with systematic training in synchrotron radiation theory, beamline instrumentation, and data analysis, making it the longest established synchrotron radiation training initiative in Asia. In 2016, at the 10th Asia-Oceania Forum for Synchrotron Radiation Research Conference, the Forum Committee decided that the Cheiron School would henceforth be renamed the AOFSRR School, with the event hosted in rotation by major synchrotron radiation facilities across the Asia-Oceania region. The 7th Asia-Oceania Forum for Synchrotron Radiation Research School will be organized by the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences and will be held between Oct. 25 to Oct. 31, 2026, in Shanghai.
