The Organisers

Welcome

Welcome to the Heidelberg Physics Graduate Days. The courses are open for advanced students, in particular those working on their 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 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, Note that each course runs every day for four days either in a morning or afternoon slot.

To take part in the 46th Graduate Days please register yourself here.

The Heidelberg Physics Graduate Days usually take place im Neuenheimer Feld 226, in the Physikalisches Institut; This time they are online only.
