XXVIII Heidelberg Physics Graduate Days - Programme

The XXVIII Heidelberg Physics Graduate Days of the Heidelberg Graduate School of Fundamental Physics and the Department of Physics take place from 10th - 13th April 2012. Participants from other universities are very welcome!

Welcome

Welcome to the Physics Graduate Days. The courses are open for advanced students, in particular those working on their Diploma, Master's and doctoral theses. Our aim is to offer courses that broaden the physics knowledge of our students as well as to teach specialized techniques.

The Graduate Days take place for the 28th time this spring!

The courses are organised as parallel block lectures, with the morning lectures taking place from 9:30 to 12:30 and the afternoon lectures from 14:00 to 17:00, including coffee breaks. There is also a free lunch each day included in your registration. Note that each course runs every day for four days either in a morning or afternoon slot.

In addition to the courses, there is a special lecture on Tuesday evening, as well as the Hans Jensen lecture, which will take place on Thursday. On Tuesday evening, snacks will be provided and on Thursday evening, there is a traditional barbecue that is also covered with registration. To take part in the XXVIII Graduate Days, please register yourself here.

IMPORTANT ORGANISATIONAL CHANGES

The venue of the Graduate Days has changed. We will hold the Graduate Days in Neuenheimer Feld, in the new Physikalisches Institut, see details of venue .

To obtain meals, you will receive meal tags on registration at the conference office in the foyer of INF 226.
