Nadia Metzkow and Borja Rodriguez-Barea were elected as PhD representatives of RTG 2767 at the RTG summer school. The PhD representatives are full members of the RTG's board and thus have a vote on all decisions of the RTG. They as well coordinate the student's organization of teaching content and social media activities. We congratulate Nadia and Borja on the election and look forward to fruitful cooperation!

The first summer school of RTG 2767 took place in the Schlosshotel Lichtenwalde on 21st/22nd of July. The full team of PhD candidates had a successful kickoff of the projects, and elected the PhD spokespersons. After a team building event moderated by Stefanie Rohac, our mercator fellows Paul Mulvaney (University Melbourne) and Erin Rathcliffe (University Arizona) contributed impulse lectures on modern trends in particle pattern formation at interfaces and characterization of electronic structure of advanced materials. We were as well glad to host the coordinator of RTG 2356 Andreas Kölditz who gave an overview of our partner RTG "Nanohybrid" at Uni Hamburg.

We took a little trip to the center of Saxony. There is the Kurt-Schwabe-Institut für Mess- und Sensortechnik Meinsberg e.V., which is led by our Principal Investigator Prof. Michael Mertig. In addition, Dr. Caroline Murawski (also PI in GRK 2767) leads her research group "Organophotonic Sensing" there. We listened to the lecture "Dynamical methods in biosensing - organic electronics" and had the chance to visit all the institute.
