Regarding the German-Turkish Science collaboration, the Kolleg is expected to attract around a hundred participants from all aspects of physics, chemistry, and biology from both countries to discuss the new challenges, new developments in science ranging from material science, solid-state physics to chemical physics, biophysics, from atomic and optics to computational physics and structural biology.

It is expected to cover the full spectrum of the natural sciences and be interdisciplinary in physics, chemistry and biology to give Humboldtians and other senior researchers the opportunity to report on the latest research results.

This Kolleg will also provide a platform where especially young researchers meet together with Alexander von Humboldt award winners and outstanding Humboldt alumni and other professional physicists both from Germany and Turkey. This will enable both country benefits and new establishments of collaborations. As a results, this Kolleg aims to strengthen regional and professional networking between its alumni and junior researchers and promote interest in Alexander von Humboldt Foundation programmes as a career location.

Plenary speakers will present their latest and high-quality research findings in science from physics, chemistry, and biology who are very well-known scientists in these areas and mostly AvH award winners or Humboldt alumni.

The program of the conference will also give the chance to young researchers to present their research in a Poster session and give the opportunity to get a contact with the Alexander von Humboldt family.

Additionally, on the second day there will be an excellent round table discussion regarding the German-Turkish Cooperation in general and in science in particular. For this session, we would like to invite the Head of the Cultural department of the German Embassy and the President of the Science and Technological Research Council of Turkey, Prof. Dr. Hasan Mandal to attend.

Apart from the scientific program, a good social program will be also prepared for the participants to enjoy the city. It is expected that this Kolleg will provide 3 fruitful days with an interesting and beneficial program.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Ankara.
