14th HGSFP Winterschool 2022
University Center Obergurgl 18.01. - 23.01.2022 Cancelled!
The HGSFP Winterschool 2022 will be a student-organized five-day winterschool that brings together students from all branches of the Heidelberg Graduate School for Physics to facilitate scientific and social exchange among its members. The school is held at the University Center Obergurgl (http://www.uibk.ac.at/obergurgl/) right in the middle of the beautiful Austrian Alps. The participants will attend a lecture program that covers all branches of the HGSFP and present their own research to their fellow students during a poster session. In addition, the timetable of the school gives the opportunity to connect with the lecturers and the other students during both social and sportive activities.
The HGSFP covers the accommodation in shared rooms (up to four beds), half-board, the bus transfer from Heidelberg to Obergurgl and back as well as the social program for all participants.
Online registration will open during the HGSFP Graduate Days in the Winter term 2021/22.
