PERSEPHONe & SMART-X Winter School 2023

  • January 8-13, 2023
  • Hotel Palace Bormio, Bormio (SO), Italy

The Winter School is a joint event of two MSCA - Innovative Training Networks, PERSEPHONe and SMART-X. They aim at the training of scientists on the development of a new technological platform based on perovskites for photonics and on the development of time resolved X—ray spectroscopy for the study of new functional materials. The event will have parallel and joint sessions, where lectures will be provided by internationally renowned scientists and Early Stage Researchers enrolled in the program.

How to arrive

Public Transport

There are hourly trains departing Milano Stazione Centrale to the city of Tirano. The last train departs at 7:20pm. Train tickets can be bought online here or at the ticket counter or automatic machines at the station. 

From Tirano there is a public bus line to Bormio, please check the timetable for weekends here and for weekdays here

PERSEPHONe & SMART-X Winter School 2023 will take place at Hotel Palace Bormio. There will be parallel sessions as well as morning joint sessions. PERSEPHONe sessions will be delivered in Sala Palace and SMART-X sessions in Sala Zeta. Measures will be taken to guarantee safety procedures for all participants.

From January 9th, parallel and joint sessons will be open access starting from 8:30am to 10am, and a break will follow to allow participants to partake team building activities. Sessions will resume at 3pm until 6:15pm, followed by dinner time for all participants and lecturers at 7,30 pm at the hotel restaurant.
