Experimental Gravitation: What we know --- and don’t - Dr. Stephan Schlamminger from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Gaithersburg USA
Give an insight into her experiences in the first generation of GRK and give an outlook on where things can go afterwards - Dr. Florian Fern and Dr. Andreas Meister
Give an insight into her experiences in the first generation of GRK and give an outlook on where things can go afterwards - Dr. Laura Mohr-Weidefeller
Wafer Scale Nanophotonic Components: hunting CO2 and Black Holes - Dr. Falk Eilenberger
Fraunhofer Institut of Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF, Jena ; Photonics in 2D-Materials, Institut of Applied Physics, Friedrich Schiller University Jena
High-Speed Nanoscale Imaging - Prof. Kamal Youcef-Toumi, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Development of traceable methods for high speed and large range SPM - Dr. Virpi Korpelainen, National Metrology Institute VTT MIKES Espoo, Finland
Overview of AFM-based techniques for accurate and traceable nanometrology - Dr. Gaoliang Dai, Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig

What is science: In this lecture, the basic definition of science is discussed. What is real science? What does it aim for? What is science allowed to do, what isn't it? - Prof. Strehle

Processes in the RTG: Here, the formal framework and processes inside the RTG and the university are presented. - Dr. Ortlepp

Technical services relating your studies: In this lecture, the extensive services of the university's IT center are presented. They range from basic services like mail, storage and printing to specialized software and high-performance computing. - Dr. Ortlepp

Intellectual property: In this lecture, the fundamentals of IP an especially patents are described. Patents are an often underestimated source of knowledge. The lecture descibes the legal framework of patents and related property rights, how to efficiently search for patents and how filing a patent works. - Dr. Hoock (PATON)
Interferometry and Nanomeasuring and Nanopositioning Machines: This lecture gives an introduction to the basics of precision length measurements. Topics covered are the Abbe principle, interferometry basics, high precision Nanopositioning ans Nanomeasuring Machines (which are the base and the starting point of the NanoFab RTG) and special interferometric concepts like standing wave interferometry. - Dr. Ortlepp
Literature research, interlibrary loan - Frau Pfafferott (TU Library)
