The doctoral school programme comprises scientific groups from LIST's Department of Materials Research and Technology (MRT) and from the Doctoral Program of Physics and Materials Science (DPPM) of the University. 

The presence of all the PhD students registered at DPPM from both institutes are mandatory. PhD students, their supervisors as well as all interested scientific staff should confirm their attendance by filling the registration form before 16 February.

Guest speakers of the event
