2015 Nanobruecken Nanomechanical Testing Workshop

Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces and Hysitron, Inc. are pleased to present Nanobrücken 2015: A Nanomechanical Testing Workshop & Hysitron User Meeting, which will take place on April 21-23, 2015 in Potsdam, Germany. Nanobrücken 2015 is the fifth edition of the now-annual Nanobrücken workshop series, having been hosted in both Saarbrücken and Dresden.

The Keynote Speaker for this year's workshop will be Prof. Mathias Göken, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.

Please visit the workshop's website to view the Call for Abstracts. As in the past, the workshop is open to all aspects of nanomechanical and nanotribological testing, including biomechanical, in-situ experimentation and simulation/theory. The abstract submission deadline is March 2. Student contributions are strongly encouraged! 

In addition to keynote/invited/contributed talks, there will be a student talk competition open to anyone who is a student at the time of the workshop as well as a poster competition open to everyone. Congratulations to 2014's winners Aaron Kobler, KIT (best student talk) and Václav Pejchal, EPFL (best poster)!

We wish you a splendid 2015 and look forward to seeing you in Potsdam this April!

Sincerely,
