XXXIII Heidelberg Physics Graduate Days - Programme

The XXXIII Heidelberg Physics Graduate Days of the Heidelberg Graduate School of Fundamental Physics and the Department of Physics and Astronomy take place from 6th-10th October 2014. Participants from other universities are very welcome!

Welcome

Welcome to the Heidelberg 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 Heidelberg Physics Graduate Days take place for the 33rd time this fall!

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 five days either in a morning or afternoon slot.

In addition to the courses, there is a special lecture on Monday evening, as well as the Hans Jensen lecture, which will take place on Thursday. On Monday 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 XXXIII Graduate Days, please register yourself here.

The Heidelberg Physics Graduate Days take place im Neuenheimer Feld 226, in the 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.
