The new generation in strongly correlated electron systems

Big news today! The European Science Foundation (ESF), through its programme “Interdisciplinary Approaches to Functional Electronic and Biological Materials” (INTELBIOMAT) has accepted our proposal for funding and will fund the conference, covering aroud the 12% of our prospective overall budget.

The ESF provides a platform for its Member Organisations to advance European research and explore new directions for research at the European level.

Established in 1974 as an independent non-governmental organisation, the ESF currently serves 75 Member Organisations across 30 countries.

INTELBIOMAT is an European programme of workshops, schools, and exchange visits that is targeted at the understanding, modelling and design of functional materials, bringing together different communities: materials scientists, experimentalists, and theorists.

Now you can follow our blog for conference news & updates in Twitter (if I did everything right). It’s exactly the same feed you can get by subscribing by RSS or email. If you want to follow the news about the conference it’s important that you subscribe in some way as it will be our prime way of communication.

The best way to get updates on the conference is by subscribing to our blog (clicking in the icons at the right of this page). You can use either feed-reader or get the news in your email every time we post something new. We will post there any news related to the conference, but in any case the traffic will be low (plus you can unsubscribe at any time). Although for the first announcement we have send a bunch of emails (with +1000 recipients), this is not practical for several reasons: first, not everybody is interested; second, it’s pretty hard to do this kind of bulk-emailing (as it gets confussed with spam, a lot of emails bounce back, etc…). So if you are interested in the conference, please subscribe to the blog.

Abstract submission will open on December 15th. If you want to participate in the conference, you are expected to submit an abstract and contribute with a poster or a talk. Only one abstract per attendant is allowed. You can submit your abstract from December 15th using the form in this abstract submission  page. Invited speakers should not fill this form and will be contacted by the organizers. After the abstract submission period is closed, you will be contacted by the organizers regarding the acceptance of your abstract and be able to register. You can check out this and other important dates here.

We have posted some basic information about the venue.

We have added some information regarding the program of the conference. In adittion to the list of speakers, now you can check out the main topics about the conference is articulated, and a preliminary schedule.

If you are interested/share/like the ideas behind these conferences, you can join our group in Google groups. The group works as a mailing list where everybody can post messages related to topics of interest for researchers working in the field of strongly correlated electrons. Even if you don’t plan to attend the conference feel free to join at this link.
