ICAM Week of Science 2023 (Program)
The ICAM Week of Science 2023 will convene an exceptional group of scientists from across the globe to discuss the emergent frontier of matter and energy, from biological and soft to quantum matter. The meeting will also convene ICAM for its Annual General Meeting. Although the meeting will be planned largely as a in-person event, the seminar room will be configured to allow lively hybrid online participation for those unable to travel to UC Santa Barbara.
ICAM Announces a limited number of Student and Postdoctoral travel stipends to attend our annual Week of Science 3-8 December at the Quantum Foundry, UC Santa Barbara. Stipends are available for students and postdocs from ICAM nodes, up to $1500 for North American and $2500 for students from outside North America to attend the event. Preference will be given to those who present posters. Application is rolling, with a final deadline of 25th October. Please apply here.
The ICAM Global Summit will take place during the first half of the week and will comprise of three plenary sessions on the Frontiers of Emergence in our key thrust areas of Soft, Biological and Quantum Matter and Energy, combined with round-table discussions and presentations from junior scientists. Following the ICAM tradition, this is a meeting devoted to extensive discussion across a wide range of physics topics. Talks will follow the ICAM tradition of reserving at least 30% of the allotted time to discussion. There will also be a number of open panel discussions on current scientific and policy issues.
Accelerating Quantum Materials: The last day of the ICAM Global Summit will open a Frontiers Physics Workshop that this year will focus on quantum matter, entitled “Accelerating the discovery of Quantum Materials”. This workshop will bring together the community of research into quantum materials, to discuss the latest developments in the field with a focus on strategies for improving the sharing of information, including the development of new databases.
