PROGRAM

The program of the NIOZ & AvaaTech XRF Core Scanning User Meeting will consist of invited talks of experienced XRF core scanning users, complemented by registered attendees that requested an oral presentation. The amount of requested oral presentations might be limited due to time constraints in which case the organizing committee will select presentations.
