This one-week spring school will provide several lectures by leading experts supplemented by a few shorter seminars. The year 2020 school will address Moiré and van der Waals heterostructures. The lecturers will give graduate level presentations introducing to state-of-the-art methods and techniques featuring the key issues of the physics of moiré and van der Waals heterostructures. While the school is primarily aimed at instructing PhD students and young postdoctoral researchers, more senior scientists who want to acquaint themselves with the subject of the school are also welcome.
