Three basic courses will provide a broad introduction to the physics of correlated electron systems, superconductors and electronic properties at interfaces. Additional shorter lectures will focus on the physics of particular materials and on the theoritical methods used to describe them.

No prior knowledge apart from basic background in conventional solid state physics is required. This school is intended for PhD students and young post-docs. The courses will be given in english.
