Educational innovation in university levels: Crystallography and X - ray diffraction .
A set of advanced seminars ( Bachelor and Master ) on the characterization of materials is offered . The information is accessible ( Spanish and English) both online and offline, from computers or mobile devices. In this way it is intended among other things to encourage independent learning of students.
