Keynotes:
“Learn to be an inspiring speaker: presentation skills”
Thomas Wagnières
TW | be good. look good. Lausanne und Umgebung, Switzerland
Learn to be an inspiring speaker. Get the buy-in through efficient presentations. Convey your ideas with clarity. The story matters: learn to organize and formulate your ideas so that you develop inspiring presentations.
“DFT, the GW approximation and Superconductivity”
Dr. J. Kay Dewhurst
Max-Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics, Halle, Germany
This lecture will introduce the basic theoretical concepts in superconductivity and focus on computational methods that are most useful and used to obtain superconducting properties of materials at the ab-initio level.
“From fair storage to error estimates of computational data: the NOMAD project”
Dr. Andris Gulans
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany
This lecture will be an introduction to the Novel Materials Discovery (NOMAD) laboratory with a discussion on sharing, repurposing and quality of data.
“EU opportunities for individual research funding”
Dr. Sibylla Martinelli
Euresearch Network Office, Bern, Switzerland.
Are you a talented researcher planning your next career step? Would you like to have your excellent research project funded by the European Union? Or would you like to advance your research career by going abroad? In this session you will learn about different funding opportunities for individual researchers offered by the EU. We will mainly look at the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowships and the ERC Starting Grants. Additionally the possibilities of finding PhD positions in a MSCA doctoral programme will be presented briefly. The session will be rounded up by an overview of Euresearch’s services to support Swiss based researchers.
