About the school:

The school was a continuation of the traditional and highly successful series of summer schools on physics of nanostructures, surfaces and thin films held every three years in the Czech Republic. The school programme aims at presenting  current directions of research at both tutorial as well as state-of-the-art level. The fields were represented by eminent scientists in the fields of surface science, interfaces and nano-structures, nanomechanics, nano-photonics and spin electronics. The school also connects the areas of fundamental research to the vital areas of technology: nano-electronics, renewable energy and life science applications.
