The strategy of the ICNS is to attract world-leading scientists as external researchers for sabbaticals, summer research stays, and short-term visits with their accompanying Ph.D. students.
We will develop a broad range of activities to foster this interaction and provide funding through the ICNS.

In 2015 we set-up a new workshop concept which is named BEYOND!.
The aim is to focus on new scientific areas that go far Beyond! what we think is possible today. Getting different communities connected and advancing scientific progress is a major aim.
