The scientific programme of the Workshop will be divided into four topical sessions, and eminent scientists have agreed to present keynote lectures on the state-of-the-art of these topics:
1) Hybrid materials, Mitzi D.B., “Structure-Electronic Property Relationship in Layered Organic-Inorganic Perovskites”
2) From mineral layers to materials, S. Krivovichev, “Layered oxysalt minerals and their modified analogs: structure and applications”
3) Structural and computational, P. Ugliengo, “Periodic ab initio DFT calculations on siliceous layered materials”
4) Properties and applications, J. Rocha, “Engineering Photoluminescence centres in Layered Lanthanides Materials”
