WELCOME

The German-Czech Workshop on Nanomaterials is a traditional event organized with an ambition to promote and strengthen the mutual cooperation between the Czech and German research teams working in the fields related to the cluster and nanoparticle growth, development of aggregation sources and related sputtering processes, and applications of nanomaterials. Previous editions took place in Sankt Peter-Ording (2012), Prague (2014), Lübeck (2016), České Budějovice (2018) and Dresden (virtual meeting in 2020). The 6th edition will be hosted in Prague 10-11 June 2024 by the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University.

The two-day workshop will keep on with the comfortable format of previous editions, with a limited number of talks, no parallel sessions, and plenty of time for stimulating discussions and possible networking in a friendly atmosphere. In addition, there will be no conference fee.

Please note, that the participation on the 6th DE-CZ nanoworkshop is on invitation only. If you are interested in participating, please contact the workshop secretary – Jan.Hanus@matfyz.cuni.cz. 

Important Dates:

  • 03.05.2024        Abstract submission and registration deadline (abstract template may be downloaded here)
  • 10.06.2024        Workshop opening
