Materials for Energy summer school

The DICO-PMS laboratory is organising a three-week summer school dedicated to different classes of energy material with the support of CYAS in the framework of thematic months programmes. 
A different topic will be covered each week: from 22 to 27 June 2026 "Quantum Electronics", from 29 June to 3 July 2026 "Catalytic Functionnalities" and from 6 to 10 July 2026 "Photovoltaics".
Venue: Maison internationale de la Recherche, Neuville-sur-Oise

Organisation:

Christine Richter, DICO-PMS (CYU)
Karol Hricovini, DICO-PMS (CYU)
Olivier Heckmann, DICO-PMS (CYU)
Mauro Fanciulli, DICO-PMS (CYU)
