Properties of strongly correlated metals, often dubbed as strange metals, are rather poorly understood in comparison to their weakly interacting counterparts (normal Fermi liquids). This is in spite of their ubiquity – normal state of high temperature superconductors; metals with fluctuating magnetism; gapless quantum spin liquids, to name a few. The aim of this winter school is to teach the newest generations of young researchers the basics and central developments of the study of correlated metals.

In the last two decades, plants have increasingly been used as a source of inspiration for new material concepts, constructions or actuators in various disciplines, such as mechanical engineering, material sciences or architecture. Within the framework of the Summer School, the participants* should use the diversity of the collections in the Botanical Garden in small groups as a starting point for creative transformations into potential applications. Great importance is attached to an interdisciplinary composition of the groups when working on the projects. The participants will be selected on the basis of a sketch of ideas to be submitted in advance. The SLUB Makerspace will be involved in the elaboration of the project work.
The presentation of the results will take place in the Botanical Garden as part of the 200-year anniversary celebration.

During this one-week training program, participants will gain knowledge on technology transfer from experts in the fields of technology evaluation, patenting, licensing, and spin-off development.

Participants will learn the basics of technology transfer, enabling them to identify the commercial potential within their research, how to patent and license it, how to develop a spin-off, and how to fund all these activities. They will learn about important pitfalls when approaching industry and get expert coaching on pitching in front of potential investors, including a mock-pitch in front of a real expert investor panel!

The Henry Arnhold Dresden Summer School is an interdisciplinary programme for young academics and museum professionals. It takes its name from the honorary fellow of the TU Dresden, Henry Arnhold, whose philanthropic spirit and close ties to Dresden, the city of his birth, have inspired diverse partnerships between the city’s cultural and academic institutions.
The project aims to bring together high-level speakers and experts from the participating institutions to discuss topical issues relating to how museums and libraries perceive themselves, their mission, and the state of collections and exhibitions in the future. The discussions cover underlying theoretical concepts but also include concrete practical approach.
