THz Science & Technology Network

About the conference
ITQW`07 will be the key event in 2007 in the area of intersubband transitions in quantum wells and intersublevel transitions in quantum dots. It is aimed at bringing together researchers from academia, government and industrial laboratories for scientific interaction, the showcasing of new results in the fields and debate on future trends. The conference series has a history dating back to 1991 with the first meeting in Cargese, France, followed by meetings in Whistler, Canada (1993), Ginosar, Israel (1995), Tainan, Taiwan (1997), Bad Ischl, Austria (1999), Monterey, USA (2001), Evolene, Switzerland (2003) and Cape Cod, USA (2005).

ITQW is a workshop style meeting with a mixture of oral presentations and vibrant poster sessions. A tradition of ITQW is to have plenty of opportunity to mix and network outside of the lecture theatre with planned free time and social events.
