CORE Workshop - Solid State Properties
CORE Workshop - Solid State Properties
What, When & Where
[download workshop book]The CORE Workshop Solids State Properties took place on 6 - 10 November 2017 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania hosted by Associate Partner, TeraCrystal. All Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) and their supervisors, together with representatives of the associate partner organisations, external experts, and the project manager met to discuss the CORE project.
Before the workshop ESRs prepared a short report on their results relating to the industrial toolbox – this was in the form of a PowerPoint presentation approved by their supervisors and sent to Claire Scott by 31 October 2017 in PDF format. A template for the PowerPoint presentation was provided, this was to be no more than 10 slides (excluding the title slide) for each 10 minute presentation. During the discussion session (Tuesday 7 November) each ESR presented their progress report in a conference style presentation using PowerPoint. At the end of the ESR presentations, the separate tools and the integrated toolbox were discussed and actions were defined which were later registered in workshop minutes. After the event a small report on the toolbox was produced by the WP2 lead beneficiary [Prof Joop ter Horst] containing a toolbox summary, minutes and an action list. This report served as a guide for the next workshop.
In addition, there was scientific and transferrable skills training in:
- X-Ray Diffraction
- Solid State NMR
- Phase Diagrams
- Career Development
- Intellectual Property
- Dissemination and Public Engagement, including Writing for Research
A detailed agenda is presented below.
