From 25–27 November 2025, the MemrisTec Seminar 2025 was held in Leipzig at the Leibniz Institute of Surface Engineering (IOM). The seminar brought together ten PhD, master’s, and diploma students from across the MemrisTec research program.

Participants presented the progress of their theses and discussed their work in an interdisciplinary setting with feedback from peers and senior researchers. The program also included laboratory tours at IOM and invited talks on career paths and the German research landscape.

A lecture on “A Molecular Chemical Route to Quantum Information Processing and Neuromorphic Computing” was given by Kirill Monakhov. The seminar provided a valuable platform for knowledge exchange among participants.

A huge thank you from the MemrisTec coordinator Ronald Tetzlaff from Technische Universität Dresden to all participants and the local organizers around Kirill Monakhov from the Leibniz Institute of Surface Engineering in Leipzig who offered perfect conditions to perform this Seminar.
