“Shining light on matter through interdisciplinary theoretical approaches”
3-7 June 2024, Marseille (France)
Event website
The 27th edition of the ETSF Workshop was attended by 100 scientists (from 16 countries), including many young researchers.
The workshop program consisted of 13 invited lectures (including 2 introductory lectures), 26 contributed talks, and an attractive poster session with 41 posters. As planned, ample time was allowed for informal scientific exchange (coffee breaks and social events).
It was distinguished by its interdisciplinary focus. It served as an open forum to discuss various emerging topics such as ultrafast phenomena via non-equilibrium dynamics, attosecond time-resolved vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, and charge and energy transfer in solids, hetero- and nanostructures, including the role of point and extended defects and thermal effects. The development and application of the most advanced methods in the description of electronic excitations, such as multiscale and embedding methods as well as theoretical and numerical developments, have enriched the discussion.
We hosted an evening lecture by a social and psychological cognitive expert (Isabelle Régner) to initiate a dialogue on the profound influence of gender stereotypes on students’ academic performance and their impact on evaluation, hiring and promotion decisions, affecting reviewers of all genders. It was a great success, as evidenced by the fact that it was followed by a long question and answer session.
The event was sponsored by the Psi-k organization, Aix-Marseille University, CNRS, Ville de Marseille, AMUTECH and Société Française de Physique – Provence.
