Second IDEA League Summer School 2007 Programme of the Summer School

Programme of the Summer School

General Introduction

Various problems concerning Finite Element Method, Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo Simulation will be assigned to the students on Tuesday, July 24. A computer laboratory will be available for the students in the following days of the workshop with the aim to solve the assigned problems. A group meeting on Thursday, July 26 will be organised by the participants in order to collect solutions and problems to the given tasks. A selected speaker of each group (2 persons per group) will give a presentation on Friday, July 27.

Poster Presentation

Each participant is expected to present her/his current research topic in a poster session which will be combined with Dinner on Monday, July 23. The poster should contain the following information:

1. An abstract suitable for presentation to general (non-scientific) public, explaining the academic and/or economic significance of the research topic, and the major findings of the research.

2. A technical abstract understandable to anybody with background in any branch of
materials science.

3. The usual content of scientific posters.

4. A statement about the benefits which the attendee expects from this Summer School.

The posters will be on display during the first 4 days of the workshop. They can be up to vertical DIN A0 format (118.8 cm x 84.0 cm). Please bring with you an electronical version of your poster which will be published at our website or send it by email.
