The “Summer School of HPSTAR in 2014” is organized and sponsored by HPSTAR, supported by Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). 12 research scientists from HPSTAR will give lectures on high-pressure science and technology. In addition, 6 world-leading scientists in high-pressure research have been invited to give lectures from high-pressure physics and materials to Earth and planetary sciences. The lectures will provide broad introduction to the high-pressure research field with in-depth insights from each scientist. The program also includes some introductive high-pressure experiments to participate and gain hand-on experience in high-pressure research.
