1st CLIMB workshop
Workshop programme - draft
The first CLIMB Workshop will bring together the project's Doctoral Candidates, supervisors, and partners for three days of scientific exchange, training, and networking in Austria.
Hosted by the University of Graz, the workshop will start in Graz before moving to Leibnitz for the main scientific sessions. A central component of the event will be the presentation of research progress by all CLIMB Doctoral Candidates, providing an opportunity to share results, discuss challenges, and receive feedback from peers and senior researchers from across the consortium.
During the workshop participants will visit Anton Paar GmbH, an Associate Partner of the CLIMB project and a leading manufacturer of scientific instruments.
In addition to the scientific programme, the workshop will provide valuable opportunities for networking and strengthening collaboration among the CLIMB Doctoral Candidates and partner institutions.
This is a restricted internal event for CLIMB consortium members and invited speakers.
Invited speakers
John Katsaras - Oak Ridge National Laboratory (US)
Herbert Wachtel - Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG (Germany)

BILL 2027 - Bilayers at the ILL
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working with on the physico-chemical characterization of lipid bilayers by means of experimental (including scattering and direct space techniques) and theoretical approaches.
Registration and abstract submission will open on 6th November 2026 and close on the 1st February 2027.
