Jaszowiec 2008 Pre-School

A special tutorial session in semiconductor physics will take place just before the School, during the weekend June 7/8, 2008. It is co-organized by the Foundation "Pro Physica".
The headline of this year two-day course is:

Prying into a quantum world

The aim of this tutorial session is to introduce students and newcomers to some of the advanced theoretical and experimental methods for investigating and controlling semiconductors in a nano-scale.
As in the case of the past sixteen Pre-Schools, a limited number of grants to cover the participation in the courses and in the School will be offered for students. Priority will be given to the students whose conference abstracts are accepted.
Applications for support should be submitted by the students' supervisors before March 14^th, 2008 directly to the Chairman of the Tutorial Session:
