In light of the 10 years of active scientific collaboration between colleagues from ICIMAF and the GU Frankfurt, we are happy to announce the German-Cuban 'Summer' school 2021, to be held on 17-21 January 2022.
The School is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service - DAAD.
Topics and lecturers:

- Astrophysics@FAIR - C. Sturm (GSI)
- Experiments@FAIR - C. Blume (IKP Uni-Frankfurt)
- Science, science communication and opportunities for foreign students in Germany - S. Vogel (Sciencebirds)

The School will session in the Abdus Salam room, at the main building of ICIMAF, located in Calle 15 #551 entre C y D, Vedado, Plaza de la Revolución, CP 10400, La Habana, Cuba
The cooperation between ICIMAF and the GU Frankfurt stands out for the mutual short-term research visits of established scientists from both sides and the organization of a bi-annual international conference series (STARS/SMFNS 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019) that brings leading experts in the physics of strongly interacting systems and strong magnetic fields to Cuba.
Stemming from the STARS/SMFNS conferences, a number of summer schools for postdocs and young researchers with the aim of fostering the knowledge transfer to the younger Cuban researcher generation. Thus, the German-Cuban Summer school (GCSS) were held in Havana in 2016 (financed by DAAD) and in 2017. In 2018, another school was convened together with the jointly organized Symposium on Non-equilibrium Dynamics. These events continued through the years 2019 and (virtually) 2020.
