MemrisTec Summer School 2026

From 4.9. - 13.9.2026 in Rostock, Germany

Impressions from 2024

Welcome to the fifth and last MemrisTec Summer School which is covering the topics of the research programme Memristive Devices Toward Smart Technical Systems.

Memristors are nanoelectric devices capable of storage and computation. Their specific properties make it possible to integrate significantly more memory than before in a very small space and to create novel, biologically inspired networks for information processing.

This creates electronic circuits whose performance is significantly greater than that of conventional semiconductor solutions. The highly efficient and faster memory technologies are better able than conventional technologies to meet the challenges of the Internet of Things. Due to their high efficiency and small size, memristors also allow the development of highly sensitive biosensors, which are particularly interesting for medical technology.

Such sensors can be used, for example, to detect cancer cells very sensitively at low concentrations. Moreover, memristors are particularly well suited for imaging the learning behavior of synapses in neuromorphic electronic systems, i.e. the development of artificial brains. That is, in the future, computers may be created that can “think” and “learn” with memristors. In addition, a multitude of other possible applications is conceivable.

Journey to Rostock

Reach our accommodation destination Rostock-Warnemünde e.g. by train.

Accommodation

All participants and speakers will stay in one place that we already booked for you. Please contact us first, don’t book on your own, we already have rooms with breakfast booked!

(see on the Summer School map)

Your destination address:

Rostock-Warnemünde

Participation Fee

There is no registration fee as we are a team of universities and research institutions without aspiration to gain profit. But, to negotiate good prices for accommodation, meals, bus transfer, activities we will ask you for a participation fee covering these expenses. Your journey to/from Rostock is not included. The participation fee is 999€ for the 9 nights Friday till Sunday incl. meals). Participants from Rostock pay much less, of course, as they don’t need an accommodation. We offer an online participation for 150€ with several cameras, a shared lecture presentation and access to all recordings of the summer school.

Expected prior knowledge

It would be more easy for you to follow if you already have a Bachelor degree (or similar) in a STEM subject, e.g. electrical engineering, computer science, materials sciences, physics, chemistry etc.

The Summer School is not limited to PreDocs (= PhD students) only!

Highlights

  • Lectures from famous teachers
  • Hands-on lab activities
  • Poster session (Who am I?)
  • International sweets buffet
  • Lightning Talks of participants
  • Social activities
  • Cultural activities
  • Sightseeing & Hiking

Registration

The number of participants is limited to ~40. Depending on the total amount of registrations, the summer school organizers might have to approve attendees.

Registration is open and possible on a “first come – first served” basis

Especially, if you need a visa for Europe, please register early.

Please don’t hesitate to ask your questions here: memristec@tu-dresden.de

Flyer

Feel free to advertise the MemrisTec Summer School with this flyer (16:9 format), e.g. as slide in your talks!

"In this interdisciplinary Summer School on memristive systems, we want to bring students together and in discussion with experts from the fields of fabrication, characterization and the theory of memristors."
