This workshop provides an opportunity to discuss new results and ideas in order to further improve the field of spectroscopy on correlated solids and thin films. In particular, the workshop will enable discussion in the following research areas:
(i) rare-earth and transition metal oxides, (ii) heavy fermion systems, (iii) molecular solids, and (iv) topological insulators.

Novel technical aspects including new synchrotron beamlines are also involved.

1. Photoemission spectroscopy of correlated materials using synchrotron radiation and advanced light souces.
2. Related spectroscopic research of low-energy electronic structure and fermiology.
3. Spectroscopy of newly developed correlated thin films.
4. Novel instruments for spectroscopy of solids using synchrotron radiation.
