Description

The European Magnetic Field Laboratory (EMFL) Spring School aims to introduce young scientists to advanced material sciences. Lectures by renowned speakers will guide participants through fundamental and applied aspects of solid-state research.

Additionally, networking will be an essential component of the school, fostering community among the participants. The school is open primarily to young scientists, master's and doctoral students, and postdoctoral researchers. The participants can present their results in a specially dedicated poster/pitch session.

The school is sponsored by EMFL, and no participation fees are requested.

The participants will be selected based on the quality of their motivation letter.
