Events

We offer various opportunities to the members of the department and interested persons to be acquainted with modern research and teaching topics in all disciplines of physics. Two regular seminars take place every week during the fall and spring semesters: the colloquium and the friday theory seminar. Further single opportunities are announced on this page and blackboards when appropriate.

The purpose of the colloquium is to inform faculty, students and any interested person on cutting edge research done around the world. It is an essential tool offered to remain up-to-date with current research and teaching activities. The colloquia are designed to be accessible to non-specialists with a fair background in Physics. Attendance of graduate students is expected and undergraduate students are strongly encouraged to participate!

The second meeting is the Friday Physics seminar intended to discuss various topics and techniques in all fields of physics. These seminars have been mostly organized by theoreticians and do presently not take place on a regular basis. Theses defenses are generally held in the framework of this seminar.
