CeNS Workshop 2011

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

Under the workshop title "Nanosciences: From molecular systems to functional materials", renowned nano-scientists from all over the world will convene on the beautiful island of San Servolo to exchange ideas and discuss their latest research progress.

The program committee is composed of the following CeNS members:

• Dr. Enrico Da Como (LMU Munich)
• Prof. Thorsten Hugel (TU Munich)
• Prof. Bettina Lotsch (LMU Munich)
• Prof. Ulrich Schollwöck (LMU Munich)
• Prof. Achim Wixforth (University of Augsburg)

In addition to the talks, all participants are invited to present a poster at one of the two poster sessions taking place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Abstracts have to be submitted to the CeNS office by August 15th!

The workshop takes place at the Venice International University (VIU) located on the small island "San Servolo" (see map). The island is connected to the historic center of Venice (where the hotels are located) by boat No. 20.

CeNS made reservations for a direct train to and from Venice, so that all participants from Munich and Augsburg can take this train to travel together to Venice.

The train (EuroCity) leaves Munich Main Station on Sunday, 18.9. at 11:31 and will arrive in Venezia Santa Lucia at 18:10.

The return train will leave Venice on Friday, 23.9. at 13:34 and will reach Munich at 20:25.
