Workshops

1. 1st-year WORKSHOP 13-14 February 2006

2. European Workshop on III-Nitride Semiconductor Materials and Devices

Anissaras Hersonissos, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, September 18-20, 2006

The main goal of this workshop is to bring together experienced researchers and students working in the fields of III-Nitride semiconductor materials and devices, along with industry representatives, and provide a forum for fruitful scientific interaction and education.
The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for scientists and engineers in Europe to keep pace with the rapidly growing field of semiconductors research, which will continue to revolutionize high-technology products affecting many aspects of our lives.

3. International workshop on "Nitride Based Nanostructures"

February 5 - 7, 2007 in Berlin (Harnack-Haus), Germany.

An international workshop on "Nitride Based Nanostructures" (NBN) will be held in the Harnack-Haus Berlin from February Monday the 5th through Wednesday the 7th.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together internationally leading experts in the field of nitride based nanostructures with young scientists and students working in this field. The workshop will cover aspects of nitride based low dimensional systems such as quantum dots, quantum wells, and nanotubes from the perspective of theory, growth, characterization, and applications.

The objective of the workshop is two-fold: First, to highlight in the field of nanostructures the current status of research and recent findings and second to introduce the young researchers to the state-of-the art theoretical and experimental techniques used. For this purpose, the program includes tutorial like one hour 1ectures by invited speakers and 20 minutes contributed talks by young researchers to discuss their latest results.

The workshop is organized by Liverios Lymperakis and Jorg Neugebauer (Max-Planck-Istitut fur Eisenforschung) within the framework of the EU Marie Curie Research Training Network "PARSEM".

4. Autumn School on Materials Science and Electron Microscopy 2007

" Microscopy - advanced tools for tomorrow's materials "

October 8 - 11, 2007 in Berlin, Germany.

The first Autumn School of the International Centre was organized in 1975. The Autumn Schools provided and will provide a platform for bringing together especially younger scientists (PhD students, Post docs) from Middle/ Eastern and Western Europe. Young scientists are therefore encouraged to apply to participate in this school. The participants will have the opportunity to listen to lectures of internationally renowned scientists and to have lively discussions with them. Furthermore, the young scientists are encouraged to present their own work in the form of posters during the school. Extended abstracts will be published on the website of the school.

The school is open for all scientists interested in advanced materials development. Attendees need not necessarily be electron microscopists.
