4. Tutorials
A series of introductory lectures were offered on Sunday before the start of the technical sessions. These tutorial sessions are traditionally organized for newcomers to the field of ferroelectricity and feature issues of topical interests, including lectures on piezoelectricity, ferroelectrics, piezoresponse force microscopy & nanoscale phenomena, and modeling technique. At ISAF Aveiro, the following topics were covered:

• Fundamentals of Ferroelectrics and Piezoelectrics by Susan Trolier-McKinstry
  
• Principles and Applications of Piezoresponse Force Microscopy by Alexei Gruverman
  
• Atomic Force Microscopy and its Application to Dielectrics and Ferroelectrics by Sergei Magonov
  
• Emergent SPM Modes and their Application to Energy and Memory Materials by Sergei Kalinin
  
• Piezoelectric Harvesting and Applications of Ferroelectrics by Shashank Priya
