The International Summer School on Semiconductor Nanocrystals 2026 was a multi-day school in the Swiss Alps. It offered a platform to students and junior postdocs for scientific exchange with peers and with experts in the field. Students were actively involved themselves by presenting a poster on their own research.

The Summer School covered a broad spectrum of topics linked to the development and understanding of semiconductor nanocrystals. These included synthesis procedures of various classes of materials, structural characterization in real and reciprocal space, and optical and electronic properties.

This Summer school was organized by the SCS Division of Materials Chemistry in collaboration with the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network Track the Twin (https://trackthetwin.ugent.be)
