Workshops & Schools

Workshops and other academic activities

Hack2023 is a 2-day activity where you design, prototype, and pitch new products to companies willing to fund graphene-based ideas.

The 13th edition of Graphene Conference series, the largest European Event in Graphene and 2D Materials, will be organized in-person in Manchester (UK): June 27-30, 2023. Over the past editions, the Graphene Conference strengthened its position as the main in-person meeting point of the Graphene community Worldwide.

The Royce Student Sandpit experience is a reflection of the Research Sandpit format typically used to design and fund large-scale proposals, where academics are brought together in an intensive proposal-creating environment. Alongside giving an insight into the Sandpit format, the workshop also gives participants first-hand experience of the opportunities and challenges that arise during the process of establishing a new research collaboration, plus the need to manage conflicting priorities. This is a great opportunity to meet and work with students from across the materials science community on a genuinely challenging problem.

Tensor network (TN) representations has been provided natural framework for a number of physical phenomena. Technical developments play an important role for realistic application of the TN formulation, where profound understanding of information in each system or object is essential. In recent years layered TNs, such as MERA, are found to be efficient for conceptual understanding of entanglement structure in physics from atomic systems to the universe. The series of workshops, Tensor Network States: Algorithms and Applications (TNSAA), has been organized for the purposes of exchanging new developments, having discussions toward future studies, and providing basic conceptual talks for new generations of researchers.

The Summer School on high energy physics grows out from the Taiwan Spring School on Particles and Fields, which started in 1986. The main purpose of the spring school on particles and fields is educational, delivering the basic knowledge and the most recent progress on particles and fields to graduate students. Over the years, the spring school has slowly evolved and has become also a meeting place where a very large fraction of the community attends and enjoys hearing about the latest research developments in the subject.
