Third Sino-German Workshop on Superconductivity and Bioelectronics

Date: 16 September 2011

Location: Building 03.6, Infocenter room 301

The workshop is jointly organized by Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology (SIMIT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Bioelectronics (ICS-8 / PGI-8) of Forschungszentrum Jülich, following the tradition started in Jülich (April 2008) and continued in Shanghai (May 2010). The scope of the workshop is the work of the Joint Research Lab of the two institutions The focus lies on superconducting electronics and bioelectronics.
