Support

The conference is cosponsored by the University of Innsbruck, the Austrian Science Fund FWF via the Spezial­forschungs­bereich beyondC and the FWF Cluster of Excellence Quantum Science Austria.

Program

Lectures will be held in the morning and in the afternoon, with an extended lunch break allowing enough time for discussions and outdoor activities during the day.

There will be the opportunity to contribute talks or posters, which the scientific board will select from the applications. The posters will be presented in two evening sessions.

Venue

Obergurgl is located in the Ötztal in Tyrol (the 5200/5300 years old mummy "Oetzi the Iceman" was named after the valley and was found in a nearby glacier). It is a prominent skiing resort in winter and a nice and relaxing alpine resort in summer. The conference will be held at the University Center Obergurgl, which is associated with the University of Innsbruck.

We acknowledge support from TOPTICA and RADIANT DYES LASER.
