Announcement of Second Year’s Workshops Crete Center for Quantum Complexity and Nanotechnology
The Crete Center for Quantum Complexity and Nanotechnology will organize, as described
in its DoW, a total of seven planned workshops (that is, the Kick-off meeting/workshop plus
five thematic workshops on the research work areas of the Center, plus a final
workshop/conference), which will engage the Center’s researchers (members, ERs and
SERs), international visitor experts, regional experts and administrators, and participants
from the academic community. As is also described in the DoW (WP4), CCQCN can organize
possible additional workshop organization (if the funds permit it) in research areas related to the
research activities of the Center and its members.
Kick-Off Meeting
The kick-off Meeting of the CCQCN took place on September 5-7, 2013, at the premises of
the Department of Physics. The meeting fulfilled its threefold objective, namely:
a) The announcement (and dissemination), in a formal manner, of the formation (and
the launch) of the Center for “Quantum Complexity and Nanotechnology” in the
research and academic communities and in the regional authorities and actors.
b) The provision of an important scientific exchange in the Center’s research areas,
with the gathering of high-caliber researchers from the CCQCN Center’s twinning
organizations, who presented their research work and interacted with the Center’s
scientists and researchers, the academic and research community of the region (U.
Crete, FORTH) and the regional actors at large (Region of Crete, Regional Innovation
Council of Crete).
c) The provision of an important administrative exchange between the REGPOT
Programme Coordinator official and the management committee of the CCQCN
Center, elucidating significant issues and clarifying administrative items (which is of
particular importance in setting-up the managerial structures in a proper and
efficient way, at the very beginning of the project), and also presenting the coming
European Initiatives in the European Research Area.
Thematic workshops
The thematic five workshops focus on broad research directions of the CCQCN project, that
is, magnetism, electronic complexity, holographic applications, quantum metamaterials and
nano/graphene device applications. Workshops/conferences strengthen the interaction of
the younger members of the Center (ERs) with the more senior ones (SERs, CCQCN
members) and also permit the intense interaction with external experts (from twinning
institutions and major international research groups). They comprise a vehicle for research
advancement, introduction to new collaborations as well as dissemination of the research
results produced at the Center. The dates of the workshops have been selected in order to
maximize the participation of the members of twinning institutions.
The following thematic workshops/conferences have been planned for the 2nd and 3rd years
of the lifetime of the project:
(i) Quantum Field Theory, String Theory, and Condensed Matter Physics [Holographic
applications] (Responsible: Prof. Kiritsis), which will take place September 1-7, 2014, in
Kolymbari, Crete, Greece.
(ii) Quantum metamaterials (Responsible: Prof. Tsironis), which is planned to take place
June 1-6, 2015, in the island of Spetses, Greece.
(iii) Spin-Orbit Coupling in Surface or Interface States (Correlated electronic materials;
Responsible: Prof. Panagopoulos), which is planned to take place June 8-12, 2015, in the
island of Spetses, Greece.
(iv) “Μagnetics 2015: Dynamics and Transport” (Magnetics workshop; Responsible: Prof.
Zotos), which is planned to take place September 13-19, 2015, at Kolymbari, Crete,
Greece .
(v) Graphene/nano applications (Responsible: Prof. Iliopoulos), which is planned to take
place in Fall 2015, in Crete, Greece.
Final Conference
The CCQCN Final Conference will take place in summer 2016, in Crete Greece, and is
planned to be a weeklong conference covering all research areas of the Center. Numerous
scientists form the twinning institutions and other prime research institutions around the
world are expected to participate.

First Year’s Workshops and Conferences
Kick-Off Meeting
During the first year of the lifetime of the Center (namely, Sept 1, 2013 – August 31, 2014)
organized its Kick-off Meeting and co-organized and co-sponsored 3 additional
workshops/conferences.
The Kick-off Meeting was organized in September 5-7, 2013, in the very first week of the
lifetime of the project. 60 participants (researchers, academics, regional administrators)
attended the meeting’s presentations. The Kick-off Meeting was announced in the, then,
newly developed website of the Center: http://qcn.physics.uoc.gr :
The Kick-off Meeting Summary Report has been presented in Deliverable D3.1.
Additional 1st Year’s Workshops/Conferences:
As described in the DoW (WP4), the Center organized the “Fourth International Workshop on
Statistical Mechanics and Dynamical Systems” (focusing on complexity and dynamical systems),
which took place in Athens, 17-19 July 2014. CCQCN organized and partially supported this
workshop because it focused on issues related to the research activities of the Center and its
members. Information about the workshop can be found at:
http://grtr.physics.uoc.gr/2014/index.php
As is also described in the DoW (WP4), CCQCN can organize possible additional workshop
organization (if the funds permit it) in research areas related to the research activities of the Center
and its members. CCQCN co-organized the 4th PhD Summer School – Conference on “Mathematical
Modeling of Complex Systems”, which took place in Athens on July 14-25, and which was announced
and presented at:
http://nlsconf.physics.uoc.gr/
Within this framework, CCQCN also sponsored a session at the ICCMSE 2014 Conference (the 10th
International Conference of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering), 4-7 April 2014,
Athens; announced and presented at:
http://www.iccmse.org
It should be mentioned that, as sponsor in this Conference, CCQCN achieved a high level of visibility
and dissemination as can be seen in the following screenshot:
