Electronic And Magnetic Properties Of Materials Using Large Scale Facilities, 20 Oct-2 Nov, Japan
This is a two week course for PhD students and the focus is on large-scale facilities like synchrotrons and spallation sources. Lectures focus on the techniques used at those large-scale facilities for the determination of electronic and magnetic properties of materials.
The first week will be held at the Hiroshima Synchrotron Radiation Center (HiSOR), while the second week will be held together with the annual Neutron and Muon PhD School at the Japanese Proton Accelerator Research Center (J-PARC) near Tokyo.
In the spirit of the MIRAI project, this PhD-course will put a strong focus on fostering lasting collaborations between young and upcoming scientists. This will be achieved by including a variety of scientific soft-skill lectures as well as networking events during the course, with ample of time for social activities to develop personal connection between the participants.
More details and how to apply can be found here.
Date and Place
October 20–26, 2019, Hiroshima Synchrotron Radiation Center (HiSOR), Japan.
October 28 –November 2, 2019, Japan proton Accelerator Complex (J-PARC), Japan.
Registration and Information
Deadline for registration: 31 August 2019.
Please mail to Dr. Yasmine Sassa and Dr. Eike Schwier or Helena Balogh for more information.

Sustainable Mobility and System Control Sciences, 19-25 August, Japan
This short course aims at introducing system modelling, control theory, learning and optimization theory, as well as applications in sustainable automotive power train systems. Topics range from system identification, learning dynamical systems, model predictive control (MPC) and optimization to fundamentals of extreme learning machine (ELM) and future trends of machine learning. Applications of advanced engine combustion control and power train control will also be highlighted. An interactive poster session will be held during the course.
The program will take place from August 19 through August 26 on our campus in Tokyo and will include an overnight industrial technical tour at Higashi-Fuji Technical Center of Toyota Motor Corporation in Shizuoka Prefecture.
