Overview

NCCR MARVEL ‐ Experimental verification
workshop 2014
17. October 2014, 10:00 – 17:00
Paul Scherrer Institut
WBGB/019

Scope
The major aim of this workshop is to initiate future collaborations between theory groups from the NCCR and experimental groups (from PSI, EMPA and Swiss Universities) and to prepare for the call of proposals end of January 2015.
 
Participants are expected to give a short presentation (max 5 minutes) about a project idea. We expect projects ideas that are relevant to MARVEL ranging from general vague ideas to concrete plans. The projects must contribute to the experimental verification involving sample growth or characterization of NCCR MARVEL topics. Presentations can be from theory and experiment groups. The slides of the presentation should be printed out for the poster boards for the discussions.
