This paper aims to explore mobility and its relationship with tangible and intangible resources. We often tend to think of resources as something exclusively material and valuable in purely economic terms, creating a de facto equivalence between resources and commodities. On the other hand, resources can be broadly understood as socially produced constructions that express what people find relevant to their lives, whether in terms of physical or social needs. As such, like raw materials or finished goods, they play a role in mobility. The 3rd millennium BC is an epoch characterised by the presence of large-scale and ideologically motivated interactive networks that spread across Europe and beyond. These networks were materially expressed through complex archaeological assemblages in which different features and practices were distributed over large areas. In the Western Balkans, the so-called Cetina culture can be described as a widespread pattern of interconnections, traceable through a particular ceramic style, which spread in the Adriatic-Ionian area in the second half of the 3rd millennium BC. The diffusion of Cetina pottery types across the central Mediterranean is the material evidence that reflects the movement of small groups of seafarers and testifies to recurrent contacts. In this paper I will attempt to provide a further explanation for these patterns by adopting a community of practice approach to network analysis, focusing mainly on the ritual and ideological spheres and their connection with mobility.
Title: Van der Waals magnonic cavities
Superconducting resonators are essential to solid-state quantum technologies, enabling key functions like qubit readout and signal amplification. Coplanar LC resonators, in particular, offer strong qubit-photon coupling due to their low losses and compact size. However, their size cannot be scaled down to the nanoscale, limiting the ability to reach stronger coupling regimes needed for studying new physics and advancing spin qubit applications. Achieving such strong coupling with current superconducting circuits remains nearly out of reach today.
In this talk, I introduce VdW-QED - a radically new platform that leverages magnonic resonators made from van der Waals (vdW) antiferromagnetic insulators for cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) experiments with spin qubits. I will demonstrate our first key achievement: the experimental observation of strong magnon-spin coupling between CrSBr, which serves as the magnonic cavity, and GdW10, which forms the solid-state spin ensemble. By detecting an anticrossing and identifying signatures of dark states, we quantitatively confirm that the coupling is coherent and exhibits well-defined symmetries. These findings open the door to using CrSBr and similar layered materials as magnonic cavities in hybrid quantum systems, offering exciting prospects for both fundamental physics and applied device research.
The talk will be in English.

Titel: In Search of Female Role Models
It is quite common to explain the low percentage of female students in STEM fields by pointing to the lack of female role models. In this workshop, I will show you that female role models have always been there. Although many of them did not have the opportunity to pursue careers in science, they inspired us through their passion for activities that were often considered just hobbies — but were they really just hobbies?
The Workshop will be in English.
