Welcome to the Quantum Materials theme kickoff!
When: 20-21 November, 2024
Where: Workshop room on the 5th floor at LINXS (Scheelevägen 19, Lund)
Join us for the inaugural meeting of the LINXS Quantum Materials Theme! The Theme is a new initiative to bring together theorists and experimentalists working with neutron scattering and synchrotron x-ray techniques, with particular emphasis on the new scientific opportunities at the European Spallation Source and MAX-IV synchrotron.
The meeting will have a varied programme, including the chance to talk about science and to contribute ideas for network activities. We especially welcome early-career researchers, who will have the opportunity to give a 5-minute speed-talk.
Join the LINXS Christmas Mingle right after the kickoff!
