Announcement
April 30, 2013 in Goslar, Germany in the Harz mountains
The scientific meeting "From the witches cauldrons of materials science" in Goslar is organised by the Center of Interface Science of the universities of Oldenburg, Osnabrück and Bremen. It is the forth of its kind aiming to bring together some of the most outstanding female researchers from chemistry and physics to talk about hot topics in materials science. The main theme this year will be "New Materials". Physicists and chemists (female and male) are welcome to participate. There is the possibility to present personal 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, 2013.
The deadline for registration and contributions is April 12, 2013.
Location
The meeting will be held in the Harz mountains close to the city of Goslar (www.goslar.de), not far from the Brocken mountain (www.brocken-harz.de), in the old locksmithery of the World Cultural Heritage Rammelsberg
