winter school – SMART-X

PERSEPHONe & SMART-X Winter School 2023

January 8-13, 2023

Hotel Palace Bormio, Bormio (SO), Italy

The Winter School is a joint event of two MSCA – Innovative Training Networks, PERSEPHONe and SMART-X. They aim at the training of scientists on the development of a new technological platform based on perovskites for photonics and on the development of time resolved X—ray spectroscopy for the study of new functional materials. The event will have parallel and joint sessions, where lectures will be provided by internationally renowned scientists and Early Stage Researchers enrolled in the program.
