CORE Workshop - Solid State Properties
CORE Workshop - Solid State Properties
What, When & Where
[download workshop book]The CORE Workshop Solids State Properties will take 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 will meet to discuss the CORE project.
Before the workshop ESRs will prepare a short report on their results relating to the industrial toolbox – this will be in the form of a PowerPoint Presentation which should be approved by your supervisor and sent to Claire Lynch by 31 October 2017 in PDF format. A template for the powerpoint presentation has been provided, this should be no more than 10 slides (excluding the title slide) for your 10 minutes presentation. During the discussion session (Tuesday 7 November) each ESR will present their progress report in a conference style presentation using PowerPoint. At the end of the ESR presentations, the separate tools and the integrated toolbox will be discussed and actions will be defined which will be registered in workshop minutes. After the event a small report on the toolbox produced by the WP2 lead beneficiary [Prof Joop ter Horst] containing a toolbox summary, minutes and an action list. This report will serve as a guide for the next workshop.
In addition, there will be 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.
