CCMX-MARVEL Materials Science Day 2019

Oct 08, 2019, from 9:00 until 17:30, Welle 7, Bern

NCCR MARVEL and CCMX, the Competence Centre for Materials Science and Technology, are co-organizing their third Materials Science Day where both experimental and modeling approaches will be addressed. The morning will be dedicated to MARVEL projects related to Materials for Energy, including modeling and first experimental validation. During the afternoon, we will present progress with ongoing CCMX Materials Challenges. Participants from industry and academia are welcome to discover new projects, make new contacts and initiate collaborations.

Talks will give participants an excellent introduction to pre-competitive research going on throughout the country while the poster sessions, lunch and coffee breaks will give the chance to speak to researchers one-on-one. We hope you will take advantage of this unique opportunity and join us!

Registration

It is possible to register for a half-day or full day, and to join us for lunch, networking and a poster session. Participation is free of charge, but registration is mandatory . The deadline is Monday 30 September, 2019.  

Poster session

If you would like to present a poster on your MARVEL research, please inform Pascale Van Landuyt as soon as possible. The deadline for submitting a short abstract, with the title of the poster, the authors and their respective affiliations is Monday 30 September, 2019.  You will need to send the abstract by email to Carey Sargent and to Pascale Van Landuyt.
