Non-equilibrium material properties bear enormous potential and are just at the beginning to be understood. Furthermore, the continuous miniaturization of devices reaches the nanometre limit where the quantization of electronic and phononic states as well as interface properties modify the device performance. Driving materials and governing energy relaxation, both on ultrashort time and nanometre length scales, are therefore highly relevant and in the focus of this meeting.

Join us in Madrid for the second edition of the biennial LMI meeting, aiming to discuss recent progress and future perspectives on the captivating world of experimental and theoretical photophysics and photochemistry of low-dimensional structures. We are looking forward to bring together experts on light-matter interactions at the nanoscale investigated by scanning probe microscopies (SPM). This encompasses from the latest technical developments on advanced tip enhanced spectromicroscopies (TERS, Electro and Photoluminescence) to ultrafast (pulsed sources, THz-STM) phenomena in quantum dots or single molecules within plasmonic nanocavities. This convergence promises a stimulating environment for students, postdocs and world-renowned scientists to collectively explore the frontiers of the field!

AVS 70 International Symposium and Exhibition (AVS 70), takes place from November 3-8, 2024, at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, FL. This Symposium will tackle cutting-edge issues in materials, processing, and interfaces, relevant to both research and manufacturing communities.

The weeklong symposium showcases the multidisciplinary and diverse topics of relevance to the AVS community while also highlighting topics of emerging interest and importance within the Symposium theme “Innovating Sustainability: Next Generation Energy and Quantum Devices and Their Characterization.” The program also includes Focus Topics and Mini Symposia highlighting the crosscutting nature and emerging interests – including AI and big data – as well as an outstanding vendor exhibition.

Thanks to the outstanding abstracts submitted by the international scientific community and the tireless efforts of our Program Committee, we have curated a vibrant and engaging program. This in-person event will feature approximately 1,100 oral and poster presentations – greater than a 15% increase from AVS 69 – and provide numerous opportunities for professional development, networking, collaboration, and socializing.

The 16^TH BESSY@HZB User Meeting 2024 will take place 11 to 12 December at the WISTA conference center in Berlin-Adlershof. Participation in the user meeting is free of charge.

With the series of annual user meetings we bring together our user community to intensify scientific exchange and stimulating new collaborations. The meetings will provide an overview of the many exciting and inspiring research results obtained at our facility in the past year. Plenary talks, discussions, a public lecture and a poster session will provide vast possibilities of information and discussion. The bestowals of the 'Prizes for Young Scientists' donated by the Freundeskreis Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin e.V. (FHZB) are traditional highlights of the user meetings.

Programme

The BESSY@HZB User Meeting includes the following highlights:

• The Synchrotron Session, the Public Lecture and the Bestowal of Prizes will take place on Wednesday, December 11
• Science Highlights will be presented on Wednesday, December 11 and Thursday, December 12
• The dedicated Young Scientist Session will be held on Thursday, December 12
• The programme will be concluded with a thrilling Poster Slam and a Poster Session on Thursday afternoon
• Finally, all registered participants are invited to join the "green" buffet on Thursday evening
