The 2024 HGSFP summer school took place in Molveno in the Dolomites: The doctoral students retreated to the Italian alps to attend lectures on specialised topics from environmental physics to quantum dynamics, and had lively discussions over posters on their doctoral science projects. The summer school was rounded off by excursions, for instance to Canyon Rio Sass. We thank in particular Maksym Gachkivskyi and Maurice Pierre Morgenthaler for the perfect organisation of the 2024 Molveno summer school.
