TO-BE Spring Meeting 2017

Towards oxide-based Electronics

The TO-BE Spring Meeting 2017, organised by the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), will be held from 3rd to 5th Avril 2017 at the Neumünster Abbey, Luxembourg.

The meeting aims to network researchers working in the field of the science and technology of transition-metal oxides and will help them to share their expertise, define future strategies, and cluster for future funding opportunities.

Participation at the event is free of charge and is open to scientists, both from the public research sector and from the private sector, with or without oral or poster contribution. Support for travel and subsistence will be offered to a limited numbers of participants. Requests for support should be made before the deadline, together with the abstract submission.
