Early Career Researcher Conference on Energising Materials
Since 2020, IOP-HU events have been committed to supporting extraordinary talent in materials science and physics across the globe. The early career researcher conference series is open to early career researchers looking to present their research and interact with leading experts in their fields. Each year, experts and early career researchers present and discuss interdisciplinary work around a single topic, with contributions from material physics, condensed matter physics, optical physics, atomic and molecular physics, soft matter physics, condensed matter theory, computation physics, and related fields.
The conference further aims at providing early career researchers with mentoring and a stimulating environment to pursue further research in China and Germany, aided with available postdoctoral funding opportunities such as the IOP-Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship in Physics, the IOP International Young Scientist Fellowship, the CAS President’s International Fellowship Initiative, the DAAD and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
