ECMetAC Days 2023 Kranjska Gora, Slovenia – Highlights

Our Group members attended ECMetAC-Days 2023 in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia from November 27 to 30, 2023.

Annual meeting ECMetAC-Days 2023, was organized in person in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia from November 27 to 30, 2023. The European Integrated Center for the Development of New Metal Alloys and Compounds (ECMetAC) is comprised of 21 universities or national research institutes. The main objective of the center is promotion of collaborative research in material science where all partners have access to a world-level facilities for materials preparation, single crystal growth, material modeling at high performance computing centers, structural characterization, and state of the art techniques in solid state physics research. 

Next ECMetAC-Days 2024 meeting  will be held at the end of 2024 in Zagreb at the institute of physics in the co-organization of faculty of Physics, PMF Zagreb and IP Zagreb. 

Croatian scientists had notable role in the meeting this year with 12 contributions (please see the list below). It is worth mentioning that “The young scientist best poster presentation” was awarded to Priyanka Reddy from PMF Zagreb for the poster “Surprising magnetism of murunskite”.
