Joint CeNS/e-conversion Workshop Venice

Sep 22, 2024, 9:00 AM → Sep 26, 2024, 6:15 PM Europe/Berlin

Aula Magna (Venice International University)

This workshop brings together young researchers of the Center for NanoScience (CeNS) and e-conversion with experienced scientists from the fields of physics and chemistry. The talks of the workshop are intended to give the graduate students and post-doctoral researchers of CeNS and e-conversion an overview of current research topics on nanometer-scale science.
