Interdiscliplinary CeNS/CRC392 workshop at Venice International University

Enlarge

This workshop brings together young researchers of the Center for NanoScience (CeNS) and the CRC392 "Molecular evolution" 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 CRC392 an overview of current research topics on nanometer-scale and origin-of-life science.

Venue

The workshop takes place at the Venice International University (VIU) located on the small island San Servolo. The island is connected to the historic center of Venice by boat No. 20. The boat ride from San Zaccaria takes 10 minutes.

• Dr. Erkan Aydin, LMu Chemistry
• Prof. Dieter Braun, LMU Physics
• Prof. Barbara Ercolano, LMU Physics
• Prof. Kerstin Göpfrich, University of Heidelberg
• Prof. Philippe Schmitt-Kopplin, Helmholtz Munich
• Prof. Johannes Stigler, LMU Gene Center
• Prof. Andreas Tittl, LMU Physics

Program

The workshop will start on Monday, September 22 at 4.00 pm and will end on Friday, September 26 at 1.30 pm. A conference App will be available to all participants and speakers, including schedule, abstracts for talks and posters, list of participants, and general information.
