Hosted at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, the event theme, Lab2App, conveys what we expect the talks will offer to a broad audience: insight into transforming an idea from the laboratory/workbench/drawing board into something whose application/realisation has the potential to positively impact the lives of many.
