Advanced Atomic Scale Characterisation (IDEA League Doctoral Schools)
Atomic scale characterisation makes it possible to shorten development cycles, improve the lifetime and enable new technological innovations. The aim of the School is to nucleate a sustainable network for exchange of human resources and competencies between the individual locations.

Knowledge on the atomic scale structure, processes and properties of advanced materials are a prerequisite for improving their properties and their behaviour in technological applications in a broad range of disciplines. Atomic scale characterisation makes it possible to shorten development cycles, improve the lifetime and enable new technological innovations. Furthermore, knowledge on structural behaviour and atomic scale mechanisms provides important input for modelling and simulation, in particular in the framework of the recent concepts on 'integrated computational materials engineering' (ICME).
The corresponding institutes and laboratories at the five IDEA-League Universities belong to the internationally leading institutions in this field. Their activities are highly inter- and cross-disciplinary and address a broad range of materials classes and cutting-edge characterisation facilities. The aim of the School is to nucleate a sustainable network for exchange of human resources and competencies between the individual locations.
**Organization**
The organizers plan to hold one Doctoral School at each of the five locations. The events will be organized in a time frame of less than one year, with the first school being held in September of 2018 and the last school being organized in summer of 2019, see the proposed dates on the first page.
The complementary training courses including lectures on the fundamentals of the techniques and the specific achievements of each locations as well as practical training sessions for hands-on instruction at all of the locations.
The duration of the training programme, including time for networking and social activities, will last for 3-4 days (exception: the schools at Aachen and Delft will be held in the same week), so that a maximum of five days of travel is required for each participant.
Planned capacity for each school: 20 - 25 doctoral researchers, depending on the capacities at the individual locations.
**Participants**
The school will be open to doctoral researchers and postdocs from the participating universities. The school specifically addresses young researchers in the following disciplines:
Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science and Engineering, and Electrical Engineering
Examples of application fields include:
Nanoscience and nanomaterials, solid state physics/chemistry, catalysis, functional materials, materials for IT, quantum materials, 2-d materials, …
No prior knowledge in the specific experimental techniques is needed.
