label Dezvoltare autorenew 2025-09-29, 16:53
Period 01 Oct 2007 - 12 Oct 2007

Vietri sul Mare (SA), Italy

Registration deadline: 15 Jul 2007

Subject areas: Computational Physics,Condensed Matter,Low Temperature Physics,Material Physics,Solid State Physics,Superconductivity

Experimental and theoretical research in the physics of strongly correlated electron systems has been growing more and more in the last few years. The complexity of the problem of correlations in electronic systems makes the field intrinsically interdisciplinary, requiring an international coordination for the achievement of reliable results. The School, which is aimed at graduate and PostDoc researchers, will offer the possibility to meet, in one setting, various experts from different physics areas, all relevant to the investigation of strongly correlated electron systems. The proposed project of practical training courses intends to promote the theoretical research in the field of highly correlated electron systems by putting together senior researchers with an outstanding experience and young researchers.

The course will be opened to a limited number (30) of young (aged under 35) researchers. The registration fee, which cannot be absolutely waived, will be €350. The staying expenses (accommodation and meals costs) will be of the order of €1000. A significant number of grants to cover the staying expenses will be assigned, upon request, to accepted participants.

The young researchers will benefit from training in scientific techniques and various methodologies under the guidance of 4 highly qualified senior researchers:

LOCATION:

Vietri (from Veteri, its ancient Roman name) sul Mare (on sea) is located within walking distance from Salerno and marks the beginning of the Amalfi Coast. It is situated five minutes by car from Salerno, one hour from the Naples Airport and three hours from the Rome Airport. Short rides take Positano, Sorrento, Herculaneum, Pompei, Paestum, Vesuvius or, by boat, to the islands of Capri, Ischia, Procida.
