MQV Girls'Day 2026: Exploring the world of quantum materials

- 09:00 –


Center for Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials, Walter Schottky Institute


This year, Munich Quantum Valley is taking part in Girls'Day together with the Center for Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials of the Walter Schottky Institute. Girls are invited to find out about careers in science, learn how to produce the thinnest materials in the world, and discover the role of quantum physics in designing new materials with exciting properties for application.

At this year's Girls'Day, organized by Munich Quantum Valley together with the Center for Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials of the Walter Schottky Institute, female students can expect an exciting insight into the world of quantum materials.

How can atomically thin materials be produced using ordinary adhesive tape? What role does quantum physics play in understanding the properties of these materials? What does a typical day for the researchers at the Center for Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials look like?  Girls can find out this and more during the Girls'Day.

Further information and registration on the Girls'Day website [in German].
