The registration for the SPP2244 Summer School 2022 is open. All details and registration form can be found here.
We are happy to announce that the PP 2244 will grant start-up funding for
The Priority Program (PP) 2244 provides start-up funding meant to allow young investigators to follow their own research idea, and possibly to bring them to a scientific level that they can apply as PI in the 2nd funding period starting in April 2024. The call was primarily addressed to researchers involved in the PP 2244 but external applicants werealso considered. All information can be found here.
The updated program for the SPP 2244 mid-term report colloquium from March 21 to March 23 in Dresden is available at https://2dmp.tu-dresden.de/events/midterm/. This includes the full schedule and the virtual book of abstracts for the poster sessions.
The International conference Physics Of 2D Crystals (ICP2DC) will take place from June 28 to July 3, 2022 in Ekaterinburg. Christian Schneider and Alexey Chernikov are part of the program committee and many members of the SPP are on the list of invited speakers, so we can expect the program to be closely related to our work in the SPP. You can find all information here.
The Bad Honnef Physics School "As thin as it gets: Physics of 2D Materials and Heterostructures" will take plae from July 24 to July 29, 2022 in Bad Honeff. It is focussed on synthesis, fabrication, and characterization as well as properties and hot topics in the field of 2D materials. Among the speakers are several PIs of the SPP. Details can be found here.
The mid-term report colloquium will take place from March 21 to March 23, 2022 as an in person event in Dresden. Meeting venue will be Penck Hotel Dresden. You can find more information on the event website
Please register via mail at the SPP Office until February 17, 2022
The first summer school of the SPP 2244 with the title "vdW assembly – more than playing Lego" will start today at 13:20 (CEST) with a welcome session by Prof. Thomas Heine and afterwards the first lecture by Prof. Rebeca Ribeiro-Palau (C2N, Université Paris-Saclay, France) on "Building quantum materials layer by layer". Furthermore, we will have the first poster session and our virtual lab tours today. Please visit the summer school webpage for more details.
If you have trouble accessing the meeting please contact the SPP office at dfg-spp2244 (at) tu-dresden.de or via the VRE.
This summer term the first colloquia as part of the SPP will take place. We plan to have a series of colloquia every semester, starting with a small summer series including talks by Andres Castellanos-Gomez, CSIC Madrid, Spain (June 10, 15:00 in cooperation with CRC 1415 "Chemistry of synthetic 2D materials") and James McIver, MPI for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter Hamburg. More details on this will come soon on the 2dmp website, our Twitter channel @2dmp_spp2244 and also by e-mail.
From May 3 to May 5 an ICTP virtual meeting on “2D Materials for Spin-Orbitronics” will take place. The topics include
More details can be found here. Registration is free, deadline is April 23, 2021.
Currently there is one open position for PhD students in the group of Dr. Katja Höflich to work on their Joint-Lab Photonic Quantum Technologies. The work will focus on on the fabrication and ion beam based nanostructuring of two-dimensional (2D) van-der-Waals heterostructures for the low-loss transport of highly confined polaritonic modes.

The papers from Dante Kennes and coworkers shown as preprints in January have now been published:
The first of these papers was also picked up by phys.org.
