Accommodation

For the "non-local" participants who don't live in the Stockholm area, we will provide accommodation at the summer school's venue and will send the information to those participants individually.

Please be aware that unfortunately, scammers sometimes approach participants claiming to be able to provide accommodation and asking for credit card details. Please do not give this information to them. For invited speakers and also successful applicants, organizers will always be in touch via email regarding accommodation. If you are in any doubt about the legitimacy of an approach, please contact organizers via e-mail qc-school@nordita.org

Application

The intended audience is Ph.D. students and junior researchers in quantum phenomena and condensed matter physics.

You apply to the Quantum Connections School in two steps:

1. Fill in the APPLICATION FORM in the menu to the left
2. Ask your supervisor or another reference person to send a recommendation letter via e-mail to:qc-school@nordita.org". The subject line should contain: "QC2025" "Name of the applicant".
