832. Wettbewerbe als Instrument um Begabungen zu fördern?

Marianne Korner (Universität Wien)

9/23/26, 10:30 AM

OePG Awards and ERC

4) Invited talk

In meinem Vortrag gehe ich der Frage nach, ob und in welcher Weise Wettbewerbe wie die Physikolympiade oder das Austrian Young Physicists Tournament (AYPT) zur Förderung begabter und interessierter Jugendlicher beitragen können. Ausgehend von zentralen Begriffen und aktuellen Desideraten der Begabungsforschung wird zunächst ein inklusives und dynamisches Verständnis von Begabung entwickelt,...

825. Insulating Surfaces at the Atomic Scale

Jan Balajka (Institute of Applied Physics, TU Wien, Vienna, Austria)

9/23/26, 11:00 AM

OePG Awards and ERC

4) Invited talk

The atomic-scale surface structure often determines a material’s properties in natural processes and industrial applications. Yet it remains unresolved for many materials, particularly insulating oxides and minerals, which are abundant in the Earth’s crust. Noncontact atomic
force microscopy (nc-AFM) is ideally suited to address this challenge. It enables atomically resolved imaging of...

626. Low-Energy Electron Emission from Layered Materials

Anna Niggas (TU Wien, Institute of Applied Physics, Vienna, Austria)

9/23/26, 11:30 AM

M33 - Particle beams for material modification and analysis

3) Contributed talk

Secondary electron emission is fundamental to electron-surface interactions, underpinning technologies from microscopy to semiconductor processing. Yet the microscopic pathways driving low-energy emission (<20 eV) remain elusive. In particular, secondary electron spectra are often simply described as broad and featureless as a result of multiple scattering, concealing the underlying physics....

815. European Research Council (ERC) - Funding opportunities and guide for prospective applicants

Odeta Limaj (ERC, Brussels)

9/23/26, 12:00 PM

OePG Awards and ERC

4) Invited talk

The European Research Council (ERC) is a research funding body aimed at supporting frontier research in all fields of science. The ERC received a budget of over 16 billion Euro under the European Union research programme Horizon Europe. Currently, it has funded more than 14 000 top researchers in the domains of life sciences, physical sciences and engineering and social sciences and...
