Marie Curie Summer School: Knowledge Based Materials

http://materialsknowledge.org

Applications have now opened for attnedance at a new series of EU sponsored Marie Curie Summer Schools which will be held between 2005 and 2008.

Each year, this school will provide forty young researchers with insights into the similarities and differences between natural and manufactured materials. In particular these Summer Schools will help early career researchers overcome the fragmentation in observational techniques, experimental procedures, theoretical developments and simulation techniques that have thus far developed in parallel, but in relative isolation, amongst the disparate materials science communities.

This year's Summer School, run by Prof Günter Gottstein of the Institute of Physical Metallurgy and Metal Physics RWTH-Aachen will focus on multidisciplinary aspects of materials science associated with single phase materials. It will be held between the 8 - 17 August 2005, in Huertgenwald, Germany, in the heart of the Eifel.

The presenters at this summer school are all internationally renowned academic and industry based researchers drawn from a wide range of Materials Science domains, including:

    * ceramics
    * glaciology
    * metallurgy
    * geology and
    * polymers

The participants will have the opportunity to present they own current research, and will participate in discussions, field excursions and theoretical and applied presentations.

For online application forms (closure date 1st May 2005), further information as to eligibility for EU support towards registration, accommodation & travel, and for fees for non-eligibile participants, please visit:
