interesting news from FOM

Registration for Physics with Industry 2013 is now open!

Foundation FOM and the Technology Foundation STW would like to the fourth edition of this successful workshop that will be held from 18 - 22 November 2013 at the Lorentz Center in Leiden. During this week:
 
'A group of about fifty physicists come together to tackle industrial problems. After a thorough presentation of the problems by the companies on Monday, the scientists (mainly senior PhD’s and PostDocs supervised by a senior researcher) devote the entire week to dissecting, modelling, analysing and discussing one problem within their group and with the industrial representative. By Friday each group presents their solution to the companies.'
 
This year the following companies have submitted a case:
 
Tata Steel: ‘Moving strip stabilization’
Ingenieursbureau Oranjewoud: ‘Protection against fine dust: the line ESP’
OcĂ© Technologies: ‘Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) used in analyzing the liquid penetration in porous paper’
Pamgene International: ‘Peptide aggregates in small volumes – detection and solution’
RGS Development: ‘Advanced solid state materials for thermoelectric power generation’
 

More information on Physics with Industry workshop including additional information about the five industrial problems is available via the
Lorentz Center website.
 
 
Kind regards,

Marcel Bartels,
