ICAM Week of Science 2025

The ICAM Week of Science 2025 will convene an exceptional group of scientists from across the globe to discuss the emergent frontier of matter and energy, from biological and soft to quantum matter. The meeting will also convene ICAM for its Annual General Meeting. The meeting is being planned as an in-person event in Wellington, New Zealand, with hybrid online participation hosted here on Cassyni.

The ICAM Annual Meeting will take place during the first half of the week and will include round-table discussions and scientific presentations. The second half of the week will be a Workshop with invited speakers on Quantum Information, Topological and Strongly Correlated Materials, and other major topics of current research focus in materials.

A brief scientific programme is available Here

Summer School on Quantum Materials

Following the ICAM week of science we will be running a Summer School on Quantum Materials that will be held at the Victoria University of Wellington on the 18-19th of January 2025.

The school is aimed at early career researchers and it will cover in an introductory and pedagogical way theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum materials. To register for the summer school please fill in this form and we will be in touch with further details.

Note: Registration for the summer school is separate from the ICAM Week of Science.

The list of lecturers includes:

• James Analytis , University of California Berkley
