At the end of July, Ann and Anna attended the first Summer School on Computational and Experimental Photoelectron Spectroscopy (SCE-PES) at the University of Tartu in Estonia, organised by Dr J. Matthias Kahk. The summer school was organised in conjunction with the Horizon Europe MSCA Staff Exchanges project BETTERXPS that the group is a part of. The summer school combined lectures by leading experts in the theory and experiments of PES. Many of our theory collaborators giving excellent introductions to their theoretical approach of choice, from the underpinning concepts to state-of-the-art developments and applications. Anna had the pleasure of giving two lectures, introducing XPS and HAXPES, and Ann presented her work on amino acids in a fantastic student talk. We hope that this will be the first of many PES summer schools in Tartu!
