Horizon Meeting: NMR and Spin liquids

Thursday 5 Jun 2025, 08:40 → 20:30 Europe/London

Dome Lecture Theatre (Aston Webb Building)

The aim of the meeting is to explore opportunities for an EU–Birmingham collaborative project on spin liquids under the Horizon Europe programme. We intend to leverage a combination of experimental probes to investigate spin liquids, with a particular focus on atomically thin samples.

08:40 → 09:00 Welcome

We will meet at the Food Fellows Cafe (ground floor) at the Bramall Music Building, part of the University's main semi-circular building. We will then head off to the meeting venue at the Dome together.

09:00 → 10:20 Talks (Birmingham researchers)
