10th ICSM2025 & 3rd ICQMT2025

The 9th Spring School and Educational Courses, SSEC:
The 9th Spring School and Educational Courses will be be held in the same venue (Liberty Lykia Hotel Fethiye-Oludeniz) between 25 April 2024 (morning) – 27 April 2024.

Scope and purpose of the school:

Superconductivity and magnetism in quantum materials are fields of high interest and importance for quantum devices in various areas, such as quantum computation and various emerging application of quantum technology. The 9th Spring School on Educational courses on Superconductivity and Magnetism in Quantum Materials offers a thorough introduction to the basic concepts and the recent developments in these fields, as well as the possible applications of integrating both effects in new structures and devices.

The intended audience of this program are young scientists, mainly PhD students and post-docs, from both experimental and theoretical backgrounds. Additionally, the school welcomes all ICSM-ICQMT-2024 participants who are interested in the short courses provided. This three-day event comprises lectures and hands-on sessions conducted by distinguished experts in these fields and enables the communication and learning among young researchers and trainers. The meeting will take place in person, in a private and cordial environment, that encourages discussions and networking among all attendees. Furthermore, this meeting seeks to promote and share the emerging targets of the joint conference of ICSM-ICQMT-2024.
