FUNLAYERS WORKSHOP
January 24-26, 2023
INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory | Braga - Portugal
Scope
This workshop is organized within the project FUNLAYERS whose main goal is to strengthen both the research and the institutional capabilities of INL in the area of Functional Layered Materials. The first workshop aims to provide a diagnosis of INL capabilities. It has two components, that run in parallel sessions:
Scientific
Research management
This workshop will bring together scientists and research managers from INL, ALBA and Max Planck Institute in Halle to discuss our research in Functional Layered Materials, with an emphasis on layered materials for energy, magnetic 2D materials and related systems. The workshop is open to the participation of all INLers but on-line registration is required (at no charge).
