Report on DEIS summer school, June 2015 a breakthrough in nanodielectrics: PhD student revolution?
To promote scientific debate and ideas exchange in the field of electrical insulation and dielectrics, IEEE DEIS organized a Summer School in June 2015. The main purpose was to encourage a discussion between a group of junior researchers and PhD students on three related hot topics in dielectrics research:. interfacial phenomena at nanoscale-taking the explanation of structure-property relations one step further;. increasing the heat transport in solid dielectrics by a factor of 10; and. how to obtain objective measures of the size of interfacial zones and the quality of dispersion and distribution in nanocomposites. These topics are still open issues among the scientific community. The quiet medieval village of Bertinoro, famous for its ancient hospitality traditions and not far from Bologna, was chosen to host the event. The amazing location and the excellent weather conditions were an ideal combination for undistracted discussions.

Abstract
To promote scientific debate and ideas exchange in the field of electrical insulation and dielectrics, IEEE DEIS organized a Summer School in June 2015. The main purpose was to encourage a discussion between a group of junior researchers and PhD students on three related hot topics in dielectrics research:. interfacial phenomena at nanoscale-taking the explanation of structure-property relations one step further;. increasing the heat transport in solid dielectrics by a factor of 10; and. how to obtain objective measures of the size of interfacial zones and the quality of dispersion and distribution in nanocomposites. These topics are still open issues among the scientific community. The quiet medieval village of Bertinoro, famous for its ancient hospitality traditions and not far from Bologna, was chosen to host the event. The amazing location and the excellent weather conditions were an ideal combination for undistracted discussions.
