The GDR and GDR-I "HOWDI", supported by the CNRS, organize a summer school "Advanced physics of van der Waals hetero-structures (HOWDI)" in the marine station of Roscoff (Brittany, France), Sept.23, Oct1, 2023. All lectures are in english. Note that this school is eligible for ECTS credits. Ask your University. A maximum of 80 participants will be allowed due to the restricted capacity of the center.

Check-in on Sat. Sept 23 afternoon, lectures begin on Sun. Sept. 24 at 9h00. Lectures end on Sat. Sept. 30 at 19h30; Departure on Sun. Oct. 1 after breakfast.

**Registration : Sat. Sept 23 10h-18h ; Sun Sept. 24 8h30-19h: Main lecture hall (= Salle de conférence, Batiment A on the map)
