The cooperation between ICIMAF and the GU Frankfurt started with 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, 2019), that has brought a leading experts in the physics of strongly interacting systems and strong magnetic fields to Cuba.
Stemming from the STARS/SMFNS conferences, began to develop 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 and in 2017, 2018, 2019 (financed by DAAD). These events continued through the years 2020, 2021 and 2022. The last years they were held in hybrid format by the effects of the covid-19. In 2021 was born the workshop hipstars ( ion collider and compact stars) whose second edition was held in 2022.
All these activities has been settled jointly researcher from Frankfurt and ICIMAF strongent the ties of mutual collaboration between both institutions.
