40th anniversary of the Kirchberg Winterschool
2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the Kirchberg Winterschool – International Winterschool on Electronic Properties of Novel Materials (IWEPNM). The first conference in our series took place in February 1985 with polymers as its central theme. Since then, the topics discussed in Kirchberg have continuously evolved – polymers, high-Tc superconductors, fullerenes, nanotubes, organic materials, 2D materials, and many more, but the Kirchberg feeling has remained the same - lively, open minded, and highly spirited.
We want to celebrate this exciting anniversary with you. As always, expect a great scientific program plus an evening of celebration including all former and the present main organizers of Kirchberg.
