Description

Venue

Nordita, Stockholm, Sweden

Scope

The major focus of the conference will be on Weyl semimetals. Additional topics include: effects of interactions and fractional topological phases, interplay of topology and superconductivity, Majorana fermions, and driven states such as Floquet topological insulators.

[Timetable - available from start of the conference]

Application

If you want to apply for participation in the conference, please fill in the application form. You will be informed by the organizers shortly after the application deadline whether your application has been approved. Due to space restrictions, the total number of participants is strictly limited. (Invited speakers are of course automatically approved, but need to register anyway.)

There will be a Poster session during the workshop where participants can present their work

Application deadline: March 15, 2017.

There is no registration fee.
