Summer School on Novel Superconductors

DATES: August 2 - 15, 2009
LOCATION: University of California, Santa Barbara

The International Center for Materials Research (ICMR) at UC Santa Barbara, in collaboration with the Graduate School of Excellence in Materials Science at Mainz, will hold a Summer School on Novel Superconductors from August 2nd - 15th 2009 at UCSB. The School is aimed at graduate students and junior researchers working in the field of novel superconductivity and is timed to coincide with the 4-month-long research program on the same topic at our Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics.
