April 30, 2011 in Goslar, Germany in the Harz mountains
The scientific meeting titled "From the witches cauldrons of materials science 2011" in Goslar is organised by the Center of Interface Science of the universities of Oldenburg, Osnabrück and Bremen. It is the third of its kind aiming to bring together some of the most outstanding female researchers from chemistry and physics together to talk about hot topics in materials science. The main theme this year will be "Biointerfaces". Physicists and chemists (female and male) are welcome to participate. There is the possibility to present own research in form of a poster. Female students and researchers are particularly encouraged to send in their abstracts. There will be a day care program for accompanying children at the museum mine Rammelsberg on April 30, 2011.The deadline for registration and contributions is April 12, 2011.
