12th PSI Summer School on Condensed Matter Research

17 Aug 2013, 16:00 → 26 Aug 2013, 13:00 Europe/Zurich

Kurt N Clausen (Paul Scherrer Institut, Department NUM)

Topic 2013: Materials - structure and magnetism

The PSI Summer School 2013 will be held at the Lyceum Alpinum (international boarding school), Zuoz, Switzerland.

As in the previous years, the PSI Summer School offers again a twofold educational program with the school in Zuoz followed by hands on training at the PSI Facilities in Villigen. The practical training will be available for approximately 20 students. The transfer from Zuoz to Villigen will take place on Friday, August 23, 2013.
