The three-day English-language conference will take place in Dresden from April 15–17, 2026, and offers workshops and coaching sessions. Through discussions with established female professors, participants gain insights into academic career paths. The conference targets female researchers in the qualification phase of DFG-coordinated programs.

Flat band systems have emerged as as a rapidly developing research area in condensed matter physics. From strongly correlated electronic phases to topological phenomena and unconventional superconductivity, flat bands provide a powerful platform for exploring interaction-driven quantum states. This workshop will focus on recent theoretical and experimental advances in flat band physics from the perspective of early-career researchers working in the field.

CTD.QMAT26 is the third international conference of the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat on emerging quantum phenomena resulting from topological physics and its interplay with many-body interactions in diverse quantum matter settings, from topological electron materials to quantum spin systems and photonics. It will be taking place in the city of Würzburg, Germany.
