Kultura zientifikoa gizartean bultzatzea beharrezkoa da gizarte askeago bat eraiki eta etorkizuneko erronka eta erabakiei arduraz erantzuteko gai izango den gizadia eratzeko. Horretarako, zientzia zabalkundea derrigorrezkoa da. Zientziaren dibulgazioan gero eta ekimen eta proiektu gehiago aurkezten dira urtero, Espainia mailan gorakada nabarmena bizitzen ari delarik Naukas bezalako masa fenomenoen eskutik, ehunka eta batzuetan milaka pertsona biltzen diren ekitaldietan.

The school will cover the basics of group theory, classification of topological matter and introduce in detail different classes of topological materials. A special session about interaction effects complemented by a hands-on session is included. Moreover, 4 experimentalists will introduce the main experimental techniques and topological characterization to the participants.

Topics to be covered:

- Introduction to the Berry phase and Chern number.

- Topological classification.

La Salud Digital es imprescindible para hacer frente al continuo cambio que experimenta la atención sanitaria. En este contexto los datos de salud se configuran como una oportunidad. La utilización de la Inteligencia Artificial, el Big Data, y el Blockchain permitirá importantes avances en el conocimiento de diversas áreas relacionadas con la salud y los servicios sanitarios, ayudando a tomar decisiones más adecuadas, eficientes, sostenibles y que respondan a las necesidades de los usuarios.

En el contexto de las celebraciones del décimo aniversario de Ekainberri, este congreso se articulará mediante ponencias de los representantes de las cuatro réplicas de cuevas con arte rupestre existentes en Europa. Cada una de ellas expondrá su experiencia en la manera en que fueron creadas, su método de gestión y su desarrollo como equipamiento museístico. La puesta en común de las cuatro experiencias diferentes, posibilitará el intercambio de metodologías y experiencias para el desarrollo futuro de equipamientos de este tipo.

Magnetic molecules and atoms studied by scanning probe microscope experiments and molecular transistors represent ideal systems to address the very foundations of the quantum theory of magnetism. The proposed workshop will gather both physicists and chemists to question what electronic structure theory to use for such systems. Hence, the most recent developments in ab-initio methods will be presented with a special focus on those that could describe correlation effects, excitations and complex structural details on equal footing.

La novena edición del Congreso Europeo sobre Eficiencia Energética y Sostenibilidad en Arquitectura y Urbanismo (EESAP 9) y el segundo Congreso Internacional de Construcción Avanzada (CICA 2), abordan el tema de los Smart Communities, teniendo en cuenta la necesidad de incorporar la escala humana y su ámbito cercano como variable imprescindible para una gestión inteligente de las ciudades, en una sociedad que tiene por meta alcanzar los mayores grados de calidad de vida para todos.

The aim of the workshop is to discuss predictive coding and its underlying mechanisms from behavior to neuroscience. We aim at calling together researchers and students from various domains such as vision, audition and language, to build bridges between various research fields and share this common and exciting interest on prediction. For example, the meeting will provide language researchers (working on prediction) with the more important perspectives coming from other scientific fields of research (vision, auditory perception, decision making, attention, etc).

The workshop Quantum Designer Physics will highlight recent advances in material systems purposefully designed for studying some of the most intriguing physical phenomena at the nanoscale. Very broadly these phenomena are related to spin, topology, and coherence, which enable the materials display quantum functionalities. Condensed Matter Physics is known for providing a rich variety of material systems in which different physics can be found and studied.

Following the very successful SoS meeting of 2016 at the Miramar palace, we plan on hosting the second SoS workshop. The topic is timely and in expansion. We increase the original scope of the workshop to include the very exciting developments in quantum information thanks to the new ability of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to measure and control quantum spins. Then, the workshop will be devoted to the study of single magnetic moments on solid surfaces, their detection, manipulation, and encoding of quantum information.

The 9th international Conference “New Generation in Strongly Correlated Electrons Systems” (NGSCES 2018), sponsored by the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), will be held at the "Palacio Miramar", Donostia / San Sebastian, on September 3-7, 2018.
