Theme:
The aim of this invitation-only workshop is to review the state-of-the-art of certain aspects of functional oxide materials, both bulk and thin film, with the specific aim of improving channels of communications between practitioners of oxide science from across different disciplines
This workshop is inspired by the earlier, highly successful one held at UCSB in 2007: URL
