About African Rietveld School

The First Edition of the African Rietveld School offers an exceptional opportunity for researchers in materials science to develop proficiency in Rietveld refinement. Designed to provide both foundational knowledge and advanced techniques, this inaugural program focuses on the refinement of complex structures, including multiphase systems and magnetic materials, using the FullProf software suite.

Participants will benefit from a blend of expert-led lectures and practical, hands-on sessions. These sessions are tailored to address real-world challenges, enabling attendees to develop a deep understanding of FullProf’s advanced features and refine intricate crystal structures with confidence and precision.

Whether you’re a researcher exploring material properties or a crystallographer aiming to expand your expertise, this program will equip you with essential skills to advance your work. Join us in this collaborative learning environment to elevate your capabilities in Rietveld refinement and contribute to cutting-edge developments in the field.

UM6P

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is an institution oriented towards applied research and innovation with a focus on Africa. The University is engaged in economic and human development and puts research and innovation at the forefront of African development.

A mechanism that enables it to consolidate Morocco’s frontline position in these fields, in a unique partnership-based approach and boosting skills training relevant for the future of Africa.

Located in Benguerir, near Marrakech, in the heart of the Mohammed VI Green City, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University intends to shine on a national, continental and international scale.

More than just a traditional academic institution, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) is a platform for experimentation, a breeding ground for opportunities, which students refer to as a “School of Life ».

Reduced representation of the outside world, with its challenges, perspectives and promises; the University aims to reveal the potential of Moroccan youth and students from all over Africa. UM6P is a hub of knowledge dedicated to research, high-level education and innovation to support the development of the continent. Our university is also committed to an innovative pedagogical approach which places learning by experimentation and practice at the heart of training and research. Our pedagogy is at the service of curiosity and creativity of students, professors and partners.

LIMSET

The Laboratory of Inorganic Materials for Sustainable Energy Technologies (LIMSET) is dedicated to advancements in sustainable energy through innovative research and training. Our focus lies in the design, development, and optimization of inorganic materials for various sustainable energy processes. We work diligently to contribute to the competitiveness of Moroccan and African companies by conducting research across a wide range of applied sciences.
