All events

Calling all Engineering, Computer Science, and Physics students and young professionals! Immerse yourselves in the fascinating realm of particle accelerators and discover the cutting-edge technologies that power these scientific marvels.

In this two-week event, you'll gain an in-depth understanding of the control systems that govern particle accelerators and other scientific facilities, enabling them to operate at the highest levels of precision and efficiency. Delve into the challenges and opportunities that arise in this dynamic field, and explore the potential for a rewarding career in science facilities.

Engage in immersive experiences that bring particle accelerator control systems to life. Take part in guided tours of HZB's facilities, where you'll gain firsthand insights into the practical applications of these technologies. Collaborate on a hands-on group project to apply your newfound knowledge and work together to solve real-world challenges.

Through these interactive sessions, you'll not only expand your understanding of particle accelerator control systems but also develop essential skills in collaboration, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Registration for Quantsol is now open! The International Quantsol Summer School on Photovoltaics and New Concepts of Quantum Solar Energy Conversion (Quantsol) will be held in September 1-8, 2024 in Hirschegg, Kleinwalsertal, Austria. The school is organised by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and the Technical University of Ilmenau. Applications can be submitted through the school’s homepage until Friday 31st of May 2024, 23.59h CET.

“The Quantsol summer school offers a very comprehensive introduction to the field of photovoltaics and photocatalysis and is a great learning experience and a “must attend” for PhD students and postdocs in their early career. In the past, we have received an overwhelmingly positive feedback leading to oversubscription of the school every year” says Prof. Dr. Klaus Lips from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin.”

If you are interested to participate in the Quantsol Summer School, you can find much more detailed information on our homepage or in our flyer. The deadline for application is May 31st, 2024 - submit your application here: https://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/events/quantsol/applications/form_en.html. If you will not be able to attend this years’ Quantsol summer school – no worries - the next school is already scheduled for September 7th to 14th, 2025.
