13th PSI Summer School on Condensed Matter Research

9 Aug 2014, 16:00 → 18 Aug 2014, 17:00 Europe/Zurich

Institut Montana

Johannes Friso van der Veen (Paul Scherrer Institut)

Topic 2014: Exploring time, energy and length scales in condensed matter

The PSI Summer School 2014 will be held at the Institut Montana (international boarding school), Zug, Switzerland.

As in the 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 20-24 students. The transfer from Zug to Villigen will take place on Friday, August 15, 2014.
