Casimir-network
CASIMIR is a European Research Networking Programme dedicated to the Casimir effect. Its aim is to foster European and pan-European collaborations on long standing problems in the field as well as on new trends in Casimir force
experiments, applications, and theory.
Les Houches School
The Casimir, van der Waals and nanoscale interactions school is organized to provide its participants an overview of the state-of-the-art in the field of the Casimir effect and of some of the related research areas. The school will offer a pedagogical introduction to the theory of the Casimir effect, from the origin to the questions which nowadays focus interest of physicists, chemists and engineers. A series of lectures will describe the major issues and how they are related to innovative methods of Casimir force measurements, thus illustrating the trends for future activities in this vibrant research field. Several distinguished lecturers coming from other areas of research will report on the basic concepts on which their scientific community is growing. Besides lectures on central (...)
