MAD Workshop is an excellent opportunity to connect with collegues involved in the development of advanced materials for gravitational wave detectors as well as with researchers from crystal growth community and industry who share a deep interest in the topic. Together we will discuss recent achievements and challenges in material research and outline prospects for future cooperation. We are confident that face-to-face workshops with a lot of space for personal interaction and individual meetings will contribute to achieving our common goals.
Where:
ENSSIB lecture hall, Université Lyon I
17 Bd du 11 Novembre 1918

This is a hybrid event. Participants can join all sessions either in person or online via Zoom. Personal attendance is highly appreciated.
Zoom link will be provided to all registered participants. For the first time, a proceeding of the meeting will be proposed.
Beyond the sessions:
Crystal growth and coating laboratory tours featuring a variety of materials and techniques will be proposed the Monday morning.
The coffee breaks, two lunches and one social event dinner is included in the registration fees.
Presentations and Posters:
It is possible to submit an abstract for either a talk or a poster. Note that, depending on the topic and on the available time slot, we might ask you to convert your contribution to either a talk or a poster. Since the workshop is over 2 days, talks are the preferred format.
