General information
Participants
This winter school is open to all PhD students and post-docs working in the research and development of new materials with novel electronic properties. Priority will be given to people working within an institution related to MaNEP, but participants from other institutions (in Switzerland and abroad) are invited to apply, and will be accepted according to availabilities.
Location
The school takes place in Saas-Fee, a beautiful village located at 1800 meters in the Canton of Valais, and surrounded by a fantastic chain of mountains culminating above 4000 meters. Vehicles are banned from the village. A large carpark is available at the entrance of the village, but the daily price is high; we strongly recommend that participants use public transportation. The easiest way to reach Saas-Fee is by train to Visp or Brig, and then by postal bus to Saas-Fee. Take the bus in front of the Visp or Brig train station. For the train and bus timetable, please take a look at the CFF web site.
