Fusion Day 2025

From the 20th to the 21st of November of 2025 the 12th yearly Fusion Day will take place at TU Graz. Research groups from all over Austria will meet to present and discuss their current work.
The Austrian Fusion Research Program Fusion@ÖAW consists of 11 research groups in Vienna, Graz, Salzburg, Leoben and Innsbruck. It is part of Eurofusion, the European Consortium for Fusion Energy Research.

OePG CMD-JOINTMEETING 2026

The OePG-CMD-Graz2026 conference will be held in the premises of the University Graz (Austria) from September 20th through September 25th, 2026. OePG-CMD-Graz2026 is an international conference of the Austrian Physical Society (OePG) together with the Condensed Matter Division (CMD) of the European Physical Society.

On the OePG side, the conference covers a wide spectrum of physics representing the activities of Austrian physicists including acoustics, condensed matter, energy and sustainability, nuclear and particle physics, space plasma physics, medical physics, biophysics a.o. 

The CMD covers all aspects of Condensed Matter Physics and Physics of Materials, including soft condensed matter, liquid physics, biophysics, materials science, quantum physics, low temperature physics, strongly correlated materials, semiconductor physics, magnetism, superconductivity, surface and interface physics, electronic, optical, structural, and mechanical properties of materials, acoustics, disordered media, applications of materials, etc. Other related topics such as interdisciplinary topics and the development of research infrastructure in Europe are welcome.

Congrats to Mr. Franz Rohrhofer for bagging the best poster award in Atomistic Simulation of Carbon-based Materials (ASCM) 2019 conference, which took place in Helsinki. Franz is currently working on his master thesis in the group of Prof. Wolfgang von der Linden, in collaboration with the Know-how Center in Graz (Bernhard Geiger) and the Department of Physics of Sapienzia University in Rome (Prof. Lilia Boeri). His main objective is to construct machine learning models to learn the internal energies of carbon and boron crystal structures.
