MICROKELVIN 2013 WORKSHOP, USERS' MEETING, AND FINAL REVIEW
Microkelvin Workshop 2013
Workshop – Review – Users’ Meeting of the EU Microkelvin Collaboration
Sannäs Manor House, Porvoo, Finland
9 – 13 September, 2013
The past 2012 Microkelvin Workshop was organized to provide a wide overview of latest research at ultra-low temperatures, emphasizing nanophysics applications. This time the 2013 Workshop is planned to
- review Microkelvin research progress during the past four grant years
- highlight promising future projects
- introduce novel research which could be part of a future Microkelvin programme
- prepare for a collection of research papers in Microkelvin Proceedings
The four workshop days 9-12 September are followed by the final public Review of the Microkelvin grant programme on Friday 13 September. The arrival to Sannäs is on Monday morning before the opening lunch which starts at 12 noon. The departure is on Friday, either in the morning or after the Review at 4 pm. The venue is Sannäs Manor House, a convention centre [link] recently acquired by the Aalto University, which is located 60 km to the east from the Helsinki airport and 10 km from the small historic town of Porvoo/Borgå. Transportation from and to Helsinki airport will be available. Travel and boarding at Sannäs are provided from the Microkelvin grant.
