11th PSI Summer School on Condensed Matter Research

11 Aug 2012, 16:00 → 20 Aug 2012, 13:00 Europe/Zurich

Institut Montana Zugerberg in Zug, Paul Scherrer Institut in Villigen - Switzerland

Kurt N Clausen (Paul Scherrer Institut, Department NUM)

Topic 2012: Images of life and matter

The PSI Summer School 2012 will be held in Zug - on the premises of the Institut Montana Zugerberg (international boarding school), Zug, Switzerland.

As in the 3 previous years, the PSI Summer School offers again a twofold educational program with the school in Zug followed by hands on training at the PSI Facilities in Villigen. The practical training will be available for approximately 20 students. The transfer from Zug to Villigen will take place on Friday, August 17, 2012.
