Description

Materials for Advanced Detectors 2025 (MAD25)

Workshop: Oct. 6-7, 2025

MAD Workshop is an excellent opportunity to connect with collegues involved in the development of advanced materials for gravitational wave detectors as well as with researchers from crystal growth community and industry who share a deep interest in the topic. Together we will discuss recent achievements and challanges in material research and outline prospects for future cooperation. We are confident that face-to-face workshops with a lot of space for personal interaction and individual meetings will contribute to achieving our common goals.

 

Where:

The event takes place on the premises of Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ) and hosted by Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V.
