The second winter school organized by the PhD students of CUI took place in the period December 1-5, 2014, at the Tagungscenter Weissenhäuser Strand (Baltic Sea, Germany). Planned to broaden the scientific knowledge of the participants, six experts from CUI as well as from other institutions were invited to hold a lecture. These lectures covered a variety of topics (programme): light-matter interaction, non-linear optics, molecular machines in biology, time-resolved visualization of enzymatic reactions, magnetism on the atomic scale, static and dynamic properties of ferromagnetic nanostructures. Besides this, two courses on gender studies and on ethical implications and social consequences of new technical developments have been held.
