XXVII Heidelberg Physics Graduate Days - Programme

The XXVII Heidelberg Physics Graduate Days of the Heidelberg Graduate School of Fundamental Physics and the Department of Physics take place from 4th - 7th October 2011. 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 27th time this autumn!

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 XXVII Graduate Days, please register yourself here.

The final programme (now with room allocations) can be downloaded here:
