Summer School 2022 - Quantum Materials Design by vdW Stacking, Sliding and Twisting

The in-person 4-days summer school will focus on electronic, optical, and mechanical phenomena stemming from the various stacking configurations and interlayer interactions in van der Waals structures (vdW).

The school aims for a broad audience of graduate students (MSc and PhD) through post-docs, scientists, and engineers who wish to develop in the field.

The sessions include tutorial talks by international experts, dedicated work-shop sessions on recent challenges/opportunities, and a student poster competition.

Research collaborations are further encouraged by social events that introduce the local research atmosphere and culture, including a half-day tour.
 

The Summer School 2022 is supported by: The British Embassy Israel Israel Science Foundation The University of Manchester Henry Royce Institute The Tel Aviv University Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
